Our translator station serving St. Francis and Cheyenne County at 96.3 FM is off the air due to an air conditioning breakdown at its leased transmitter site, making it too hot for HPPR's equipment to operate. We are currently working to fix the situation. We apologize for the loss of service and ask listeners to tune to KZNK at 90.1 FM or listen on line through the player above or HPPR's mobile app.

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!
