You can always recognize an AirForce Airgun from a couple of miles away. That distinctive “Space Force” shape isn’t just for Sci-Fi cosmetic appeal – the company’s iconic use of the air reservoir tank as the buttstock is also an efficient use of space and weight. If you have to have something on which to rest […]

A New Year’s Resolution Guaranteed to Stick
Have you ever noticed you can hold your tongue on a hot rifle barrel longer than the average lifespan of most New Year’s Resolutions? We feel great about making them and have wonderful and faithful intentions of following through, but there’s a gotcha. Most New Year’s Resolutions aren’t fun. Losing weight? Nope, starvation offers no […]

FX Impact Mk II Air Rifle: A Serious Adjustment
I’ve been checking out a new convertible. No, not a Koenigsegg Agera, as sweet as that might be. This one is equally cool, however, and also made in Sweden. It’s the FX Impact Mk II Air Rifle. The “convertible” description applies to a slew of features that let you tweak, modify, and otherwise make your […]
PCP in a Box: Umarex Origin 22 Air Rifle Kit
PCP rifles will spoil you rotten. At least that’s been my story. Without all the reciprocating springs, gears, and assorted moving machinery, they’re smooth as silk to shoot. A regulated rifle releases the precise amount of compressed air needed for each shot, so they’re not only butter slick but consistent shot to shot. Assuming you’ve […]

Let’s Get Tactical… With Lights
Recently lots of centerfire shooters have been asking me where I get ammo. As a “noisy” shooter myself (mostly handguns) I don’t have any good answers. There’s none to be had. Or what is “available” (and I use that word with extreme sarcasm) costs more than Micronesia’s Gross National Product. The answer I do have, […]
