Well Niceville, it's certainly different, thats for sure.
I had a look on the list of projectiles and wondered, what sort of trajectory would you get fom a turnip?

Yeah, it is different, but fun. Anyway, i'm planning on getting an airgun, probably a spring piston, but i was going to get a gamo, however, here i've heard bad things about there gun, I was thinking of one of the $220 (or around there) RWS, what do you think? Turnips? anything that fits usually works good, you just have to smack it with a small piece of 2-by-4 to cut it into a good-sealing shape, then shove it down like a muzzleloader.

thanks

Niceville, you'd be better off looking at RWS over Gamo, they're a better gun all round.
Also, keep sending your posts in about the air cannons, I'm sure there's a lot of interested readers here, sometimes things just take a bit of getting used to! KEEP AT IT !

thanks! the RWS does sound better. I'm ordering a book (blowguns, breath of death), and I heard it had a special projects section about shooting them with compressed air, or there is also a video by the same name of the book, both published by Paladin Press (paladinpress.com), I dont guess anyone here might have seen the book/video?

UK FOXMAN...

I'd like you to know that I have a cheap Gamo Delta with no scope and I love the bloddy thing. All of my friends who have fired it love it too. Kills crows, squirrels and groundhogs damn good. Cheap, Too!

Geez! You guys are into the big stuff.

My hunting rifle.
I've got a Cummins Tools air rifle. Its .177 caliber and shoots at 900 fps. I made a muzzle brake and a new stock, which I customized with an exploding prarie dog carving on the butt.

I sports a Tasco 3-9X32mm scope with Weaver rings. Its every bit as accurate as your high dollar rigs, if not more accurate. My total cost for everything: $75 and some work.

My plinker.
Crosman 2200W which shoots a .22 caliber pellet at 550 fps with BSA 2.5X20mm scope. Its not a very accurate rifle, but I can cover a 5 shot group with a quarter at 25 yards, but its a fun rifle.

My pistol.
Crosman 13?? .177 caliber at around 500 fps. Decent accuracy, I can cover a 5 shot group with a nickel at 25 yards. I rarely shoot it.

I got a old Sheridan .20 cal from my Grandfather. It's a great plinker and will handle most anything up to rabbit-size animals.

I have a Beeman R1 & R9 both scoped that I use most of the time.

I still have a 25 year old Sheridan with the original seals and an old .22 cal Benjamin pump too scratched to see the model number. It is about as powerful as the Sheridan and I bought it used 30 years ago. I break them out every now and then to reminisce of the fun I had as a kid with these. I cannot even imagine how many shots have been through them or how many critters have bit the dust.

Daisy Model 25 pump

gregarat · #29 05-09-2002, 04:49 AM

Gamo 440 shadow, just got it 81/2 hours ago. sighted it in at 9y (thats the most range I can squeeze out of my apartment). So far so good. Tomorow is the fild test rain or shine.

DaMadman · #30 03-17-2003, 01:51 PM

I've had the Daisy Pumps, Grizzly single pump, 880 multipump pneumatic, a crossman pneumatic that was styled top look like an m-16 and now I have two Chinese imports. 1 is a break barrel that the sights broke off and I am going to cut a simulated dovetail into the reciever to mount a set of iron sight on it, and I have one of those Cummins tools Airrifles (also a Chinese import) that Wahnie talks about. I topped mine with a BSA 3-7x20 scope and Wahnie is 100% right, it is deadly accurate right on out to 35 -40 yards and probably further but that is as far as I have shot mine.

BTW Wahnie My boy and I finally finished sanding all that nasty hard brown paint off that Cummins tools gun and I stained it in a light maple and put a light coat of Laquer on it and then used some fine steel wools to smooth it over and then oiled it with orange oil and it looks great.
I guess I gotta work on fixing the sights on that break barrel model that I got with the broken off sights. It is made by the same company that makes the one Cummins sells. The stocks are Identical in shape, the break barrel is just smaller, and the break barrel has the rear sights welded to the barrel and it doesn't have the grooves cut in the reciever for a scope mount. Since the rear sight is broken I am going to finish removing it and cut the two grooves in the reciever, like the one from Cummins has and use the original iron sites that I took of the cummins to mount on the break barrel and leave that with open sites.

I will have to take a picture of the two of them and post it for you to see
