Bad advice, when using piston powered air rifles.

A follow on to my last range report. Noticeable that evening was one guy had a very powerful gas piston air rifle. What was also VERY noticeable was the scatter gun results he was getting courtesy of the advice he was being given by the resident ‘ex-spurt’ who kept on telling the guy to useContinue reading “Bad advice, when using piston powered air rifles.”
