Winter is gonna winter. Here in the northern hemisphere that means cooler weather for all of us and some of us get blessed (blasted?) with the powdery precipitation more commonly called snow.

Earlier this year our Canex CO2 powered air rifle arrived on the market. While this is a very affordable air rifle, it has a lot going for it. First and foremost, this rifle is powered by 12g CO2. Not only does this make for a reliable power source for the rifle, 12g non-threaded CO2 cartridges can be found in many department stores, sporting goods stores, and online, should you choose to shop there.

I know, the band U2 is not everyone’s cup of tea, but New Year’s Day is quickly approaching. And every year for the past 15 or so years I have made it a tradition to blast this tune in whatever vehicle I happen to drive that day. The lyric, “nothing changes, on New Year’s Day” stands to remind me, yet again and forever, as the years go by, nothing ever really changes.

 

This happens sometimes.  That is something that people like and like for good reasons, goes out of stock. Sometimes this happens for ridiculously long periods of time. Case in point would be our Origin rifle kit.  

 

The Origin has lots of reasons to like it. The Origin is accurate, has a smo...

 

Recently one of our retail partners relayed a story to us about one of their customers.  Said customer came in and bought a full PCP set-up made up of a rifle, HPA compressor, ammo and optics.  He took this all home and... decided it wasn’t for him.

Some years are just too much. 2024 has been one of those years. There has been so much white noise online, through television– everywhere. Even with the election in the rearview mirror, there’s still a troubling amount of noise and pressure threatening to sour the mood for what should be the mo...

 

2024 is winding down and quicker than I can perceive. My, how time does fly. 2025 will be here in no time and eventually it will be time for some airgun competitions.  In reality, there’s a good 7 months between “now” and “then”.  And in reality there will be plenty of projects, things to do, m...

 

Some surprises are good and welcome. Others are not so welcome. For me and likely you, too, surprise expenses are always a downer. Just the other day I woke up to a flat battery in my truck. A “good” car battery these days is well north of $200.  Rats. Such is life. 

 

When it comes to air ri...

 

It is true that I had high expectations for the Zelos when I saw the first prototype some time back. I really, really hoped that this future rifle would be all that and a bag of chips.Only time would tell.  We all should be familiar with patiently waiting for things that we really want.  We beg...

Unless you have so much that you don’t ever have to worry about how much something costs and even then it all comes down to money. Everything we need, everything we consume, every tangible object we mere mortals desire has to be purchased in some way. That formula looks something like unto this: Time (rate of pay/skill or responsibility). There’s really no way to escape it that in this modern western society, one exchanges time and skill for the filthy lucre we need to make life happen.
