Airgun Of The Month Daystate Huntsman Revere

Once a month I have decided to revisit some Airguns that I have worked with in the field over the past years. These will likely be often overlooked products that don’t get far enough attention from the media. The Airgun Of The Month will showcase products that offer some excellent value to the consumer. This month we will take a look at the Daystate Huntsman Revere, a regulated, sidelever, wood…

Umarex Komplete NCR First Hunt

Several weeks ago I was happy to receive one of the first New Umarex Komplete NCR Airguns in .22 caliber. This is a rifle that Umarex sent me directly to be able to field use and ultimately be able to provide a review after using it for a while. This is a very unique regulated PCP that runs off proprietary 88gram, 3600psi nitrogen cartridges. The NCR or Nitrogen Charged Rifle is available in…

Axis Deer and Hogs with New .45 Rattler and Friends

I have been on the road for some time and one of those stops was to visit my friends ranch at Talbot lake just outside Fort McKavett Texas. My friend Matt was gracious enough to let us stay on his ranch for a solid three days where we were able to hunt a variety of animals such as Wild Pigs, Axis Deer, Fox, Raccoons and Jackrabbits. Matt Hodges is no stranger to Airguns and in fact is the owner…

Custom FX Dream Light

Custom FX Dream Light

As some of you might know around three months ago I started a series called “The Airgun Survival Challenge” where I took three high end Airguns and put them through a series of torture test. In the end only two out of the three guns still functioned. If you have not familiarized yourself with this series I highly suggest checking it out to bring you up to pace with where we are today. My plan was…

LATE WINTER VARMINT HUNT - Overnight Adventure

LATE WINTER VARMINT HUNT – Overnight Adventure

The Winter months here can be brutally cold that in turn makes most all of the hunting pretty much non existent, especially for any type of varmints. Last month we had about a week of warmer temperatures that gave some inspiration to get out and visit a new permission. This area was quite remote and offered several thousand acers of property to roam and hunt on. We loaded up Terry’s truck with…

Airgun Survival Challenge-Will They Survive?

Airgun Survival Challenge-Will They Survive?

The Airgun Survival Challenge was conceived several years ago with the idea to take several different brands of Airguns and test them for durability. These test would be over the top but still give some insight to the durability of each rifle. Showing durability is very important, this allows us to learn where some improvements can be made to each gun. Almost any gun can do well sitting at a…

UMAREX Gauntlet 2 – Overnight Airgun Adventure

Several months ago I reached out directly to Umarex USA with the hopes to acquire the New 2nd generation Gauntlet in .25 caliber.

Gamo Swarm Magnum 10X GEN2 .22 CAL - FULL REVIEW

Gamo Swarm Magnum 10X GEN2 .22 CAL – FULL REVIEW

For months I have been reaching out to Gamo to review the Winchester model 70 .35 caliber big bore as I thought it might be something of interest and I had not seen many reputable reviews. Through a very difficult amount of back and fourth discussion they decided to send me one to review but asked me to review the Gamo Swarm magnum Gen2 in .22 caliber. I don’t typically like reviewing piston guns…

Brocock Safari XR Review/Test

Brocock Safari XR Review/Test

Retaining the Sniper XR’s classic good looks, the new Brocock Safari XR model elevates things a stage further courtesy of a textured ambidextrous stock, first used on its sister company’s Daystate Red Wolf Safari, and a full suite of Picatinny mounting rails.

Atomic Rat Control

Last week I made a visit to one of my larger commercial permissions for two days of hunting both Ground Squirrels and rats. This is one of many trips I’ve paid to this large property but turned out to be one of the most productive trips I’ve encountered with the rats infestation of epic proportions. For this trip I was loaded with both the New Brocock Atomic and the Daystate Delta Wolf, both…

Brocock Atomic XR Review

Brocock Atomic XR Review

Several weeks ago I received a package shipped to me from Airguns Of Arizona that included the New Brocock Atomic XR pistol in .22 caliber. This was a big surprise to me as things had been kept very quiet about the production of this lightweight, compact and very versatile new offering. The Atomic is the latest version of the Brocock PCP platform and can trace its line right back to the original…

Dynamic Air Rifle .25 Review/Hunt

Dynamic Air Rifle .25 Review/Hunt

Over many years the scope market has been flooded with a ton of different brands and styles of scopes.

Over many years of enjoying Airguns and the Outdoors I have encountered many YouTube Channels that have both entertained and inspired me. I thought it would be nice to showcase a few of these channels with the hopes that others may find in them what I have. The beginning of last year I really started to pay more attention to other channels for not only entertainment but for inspiration in…
