Blog posts of '2024' 'September'

It’s officially mid-September and Team Umarex has just gotten settled back into their normal routines after having attended the 2024 Pyramyd Air Cup in Marengo, Ohio. Due to a weird weather pattern, the central Ohio area was a bit warmer than usual. It was also a bit more windy than usual, too, during daylight hours. Depending on how you look at it, the lack of rain was either a blessing or a curse. I’m sure, given the near drought conditions present in Ohio, the natives were ready for some precipitation however they could get it.

Pre-Charged Pneumatics are and have been increasingly popular for the past decade. With each new airgun there’s always a list of specifications that are published. People like myself like to go straight to the specification section of any product. While the description is likely full of the same information as listed in the specifications, some initial questions can be answered by checking out the specs first.

Value and Innovation are two things that rank highly in what we do. We love to give our customers a whole lot of bang for their buck and give them an airgun shooting experience that is just not found everywhere. For some products these two features align to a great deal, and on some other products one might win out over the other. In the case of the brand new AER16 BB carbine, there’s certainly a case for both, but many might see this as favoring the innovative side of the coin. Let’s lay out the facts surrounding the AER16 and you can decide for yourself.

Forgive me for coming up with such a creative title. Sometimes you just can’t church it up and you are left with being boring and succinct. As succinctly as possible, it would appear that the topic of this blog will deal with comparing PCP air rifles to each other and then, those rifles to the common .22LR rimfire caliber. If you have gathered that much, thank you.
