Top 7 Airgun Misconceptions

So I literally just bought my first break barrel Air gun. And I am trying to watch any and all videos I can to help me out. I want to get into small game hunting. This channel is helping me out immensely.

Love these shows

Great video guys. I love the round table, it is Awesome, thank you for making these videos, I love them!

best section of the best airgun show on YouTube. I wonder why you guys don't get more views... Cheers from Brazil!

Just got my Predator Xtreme magazine and another great article on airguns plus finding A.G. On here, it’s a great day for me. Thanks for sharing this video. And I immediately subbed!

The Air Arms TX200 is a beast of a gun I'm still using mine and it's over 17 years old.. had its first service last week.. now that is what you call a well built gun... The recoil is sweet and easy to get use to. I'm now using a hw100 st and as much as I love it, it is very easy to shoot and I find the spring guns make you a better shot once you know the gun.... No matter what you will never beat practice... Round down range and time behind the gun is what makes you a better shot...

The real "American Airgunner"! Keep up the excellent work!👍🇺🇸💪

Valuable information 👌.

I have learned a lot from these guys, (being a yearling with break barrel airguns), and I figured out a couple of things on my own. 1 thing I figured out is a less expensive break barrel with a slightly sloppy pivot joint/wedge lock, (Like my .177 Benjamin Titan), can be very accurate with the right pellet, (JSB diabolo exact heavy 10.34gr. is the right .177 pellet), even to 75 yards and further. You can close the barrel more precisely than just shutting it, and hit bottle caps @ 75 yards from a door jam. Try this Rossi man: After you close the barrel, grab the stock and the muzzle in a way where you can force the barrel closed, while wiggling the barrel from side to side. You will feel it tighten up and stop moving. Bump the gun, and you have to do it again, but a cheap .177 break barrel can shoot 1.5" groups at 75 yards shot after shot. My tightest group so far at 75 yards, with 3 shots, is .600" center to center, (which may be a record for a break barrel, I don't know). Yea, I was amazed also to say the least. The gun is super hold sensitive at 75 yards, but it is capable if we are. I can now say, "20-30 yard accuracy tests? Pffft, Why?"

I think the importance of quality scope mounts are often overlooked as well. I hold onto my springer firmly but let it recoil. If I truly go "artillery" hold my trigger pull tends to throw me off. I think my trigger is about as light as it can go too. Oh and LOCTITE EVERYTHING!!!!

Very interesting topic and video. Thanks for thiis one! I have an "inexpensive" Crosman Shadow .177 break barrel. Came with a cheap scope and mounts - just as the guys were talking about. :D Shoots lika crap with the scope - but shoots very nice with the open iron sights. The orig mounts are crap, or then just plain wrong, because the mounts do not even place the scope right on top of the barrel.. But.. that is what you get when you buy cheaper stuff... :D :D

Hi .. add to all of that .. some ppl think they can shoot 300 yards with a springer .... even worse ... they think they can do it with the scope crosshairs on the target and the gun is zeroed at 25 YARDS😢😢😢

Oh, and Mr Jim Chapman. If you get contacted by a guy from Michigan named Mike Avery, host of a hunting radio show here in Michigan, it was me who contacted him to contact you to see if he/you will do show segments talking about the capabilities of airguns. Maybe you can talk the state into letting us use airbolts on big game in Michigan, where crossbows are legal.

I have a crosman vantage with a spring ( not the nitro piston ), and I love that thing. I call it a point and click. I point it, pull the trigger, and it hits whatever I am aiming at. For a 75 dollar gun, I really believe that I have a winner.

Please i need information about which 1 a goodwill more the ataman or edgun ????

I just love 22lr I have Henry lever action, Ruger American Rimfire bolt action and Ruger 10/22, 90 % of the time I shoot them however I bought it resently Umarex Octane Elite in 22 and I also enjoy shooting air guns too, but I found that only rws pellets work well, I bought gamo pellets and they are an absolute rubbish. With rws field I hit on same hole over and over at 25 meters, and at 50 meters still I got very small groups but with gamo ones is just horrible, all over the place. I love watching your channels although I m more 22lr guy

I'm new to air gunning, and just starting in hunter field target. I started out with a light artillery hold, but have found that a firm left hand hold and a light right hand trigger hold improved my accuracy. I'm using a Gamo Silent Cat, 4-12x hammers AO scope, 10.6 grain Kodiak match pellets and shooting sticks. So I'm wondering if there are exceptions to the "loose artillery hold" rule?

To install a gas ram, do you have to compress it to get it in? Looking to do a Theoben Gas Ram conversion on an old 90's BSA Supersport.....

I never use the Artillery hold as shown. I just don't grip the forestock tightly, nor do I pull the rifle into my shoulder. None of that. Held loosely, but gripped properly. My .22 Striker 1000x shoots hole-in-a-hole @ 25yds with CPHP's. Similar when I use my bench bags. I fill them to the max with those plastic pellets. They act like thousands of ball bearings inside the bags. I use the rear bag on top of the front one and hold the rifle as previously described. Or with my monopod Trigger Stick.
