I am in the pest control business. We do inside bird removal for food plants and shopping malls. I have a 9 MM shot gun that can be used indoors and all my air guns are set up for such use. To have a silenced model makes so much sense to me. I can practice in the back yard without bothering the neig...

So basically it would be too quiet when legally taking the squirrels and rabbits out of my back yard. (I live in an RR area - I can legally discharge fire arms - and legally take any animal that is harming my property as long as it is non migratory and does not have antlers). I can see why my neighb...

Hey Don Is yours CO2 powered or do you have an air pump? I am considering it but from what I read the CO2 tank has less velocity. You can charge this by a pump(which I use), CO2 from paint ball guns(need an adaptor), scuba tank or nitrogen. You can put 3,000 psi in the tank. I am pretty happy with ...

On my drive in I know of about 6 or 7 wild apple trees. The apples are small, often bruised and not at all round - in other words perfect for deer.

If you can find a few out in the country/on the side of the road or in the forest grab a small bag.

I did shoot an old aluminum bolt into the ground right beside my truck - that is until I did it into the snow and did not realize how deep the ditch was. Lost the bolt and could not find it in the spring. Don't want to do it with my graphite bolts so I use the cocking aid. I would not worry about a ...

Great advise has already been listed. I scout early in August - cut and trim as needed and GPS all my spots. That way I do not have to worry about problems with twigs later. I also practice my shots in a tree and from the ground - confidence is high up to 35 yards. Breathing is key and practice aimi...

My guess seeing as he does not believe the bh could have nicked it while seating the bolt.

With stopping the string early are you not stoping the limbs from fully flexing forward. Will this not put added stress on the limbs causing failure later (not as dramatic as hitting a tree limb on the release but 50 - 100 shots may have the same effect long term). As this seems to be something that...

Man - I don't think I could sleep either. Sounds like you did the right thing by backing out. So no bolt Eh.

Well God Bless and pray things go well tomorrow.

.22 cal - I run RWS Meisterkugeln pellets (14 grain) they hit hard.

i have the same gun only without the stock mine is just a pistol grip. its 22 cal i've had it since i was a kid I got the pistol grips as well. I like the stock as it hangs nice off a branch in the stand. You can do so much with them. Really a great gun for the money. Some of the mods you can do ar...

Doesn't get much easier to use - honestly great. Safety wise it is very sturdy. Does not shift or slip at all. Make sure you clip the seat and the platform together with the provided straps - nothing like loosing the platform while holding onto the seat. Other then going from a lounge type seat to t...

I have seen a deer walk up to the spot I walked in and taken a smell - turned and run (I had only gotten to stand about a half hour before that). Knee high rubber boots will cure this problem. That is what I am running now - helps but I would not bet my life on them. Wash them close to weekly with ...

I love my Crosman medalist pump. Custom breach, barrel, valve, piston, trigger guide, trigger shoe along with a red dot scope - makes a fine toy. Great out in the bush - take it for small game when moose and deer hunting (never during archery - that would be against the law in Ontario). Taken squirr...

I gave a look today when i was in - they do not appear to be on sale but if you talk to one of the guys (maybe not George) they may give you the old sale price. My two sense worth - I picked up the lone wolf hand climber (for sale at the bow shop today for $369 if I remember right) and I would stron...
