What's the big deal about air powered rifles?

Luke Clayton

Howdy Folks!

I have had quite the adventure spending time with big bore air gun designer and builder,
Terry Tate.   I'm kinda sad to see our time come to an end.

I spent the morning practicing under Terry's guidance.  Using air is different than fire.  It's more challenging, the bullet travels slower, and bullet placement is different.  You've got to get in much closer to get a good shot.

Take a listen, you'll learn a whole lot about the differences in using air.

Until next time, be safe and enjoy the great outdoors!
