Air Gun Target Sport or Hobby

!±8± Air Gun Target Sport or Hobby

Air guns have been with us throughout history and the earliest period recorded of an air gun in use dates back to the 17th century.

The air guns were used to hunt deer and other smaller animals as a sport and the air that you need to propel the shot was obtained by using a pump to pump air into the reservoir and the velocity would be 600 to 1000 feet per second.

Unlike your matchlock muskets, the air rifle could be discharged in wet or dry weather. The air rifle unlike the black powder gun, did not give off a column of smoke and in some instances, soldiers or those that knew how to operate the air gun, were in the position to fire of shots more rapidly and with less noise and without the tell tale smoke that would give the position of the shooter away.

Through out the history the air guns have advanced in technology and should you walk into a shop that is in the trade for selling air rifles; you would be astonished to find that the modern air rifles use gas cylinders for the air and you do not have to cock it as you would have with a normal BB gun. The accessories includes laser beams to help you aim on your target, scopes with a torch to light up your target and a strap to hang it over your shoulder when you need to inspect your target.

The different pellets that you have on the market for the air powered guns will allow you to choose the correct pellet for what you want to shoot. There are more than 10 different types of pellets and should you try them all, you will know which of the pellets will achieve the distance and the cleanliness of a shot without damaging your target too much. In the case of hunting wild rabbits, the Predator pellet appears to be the best and the velocity will allow you to shoot at a greater than 100 meter range. You do not want the pellet to shatter against the bone of the rabbit especially if you want to cook the rabbit. Lead particles embedded in the flesh are not for human consumption.

People used to practice on free standing targets and compete to get the acknowledgement of the being the best at target practice. For some of the people that own an air rifles, a hobby became an art to shoot more accurately than the others that may compete in any competition.

The different air powered rifles and in particular the Gamo air gun is very popular with the avid shooter. The gun handles easy, the sight on the gun is quite accurate, the gas cylinders for the gun is easily obtainable and the pellets quite affordable.

The air guns that you will find through the social networks depends mainly on the country that you stay in as some and even the majority of the firearms are imported from the countries that manufactures the weapons.

A Shooter Has to Know the Magic Pellet

!±8± A Shooter Has to Know the Magic Pellet

When shooting an air gun, it is imperative that you know the magic pellet for your particular air gun so that you will be able to consistently hit where you are aiming. Finding the magic pellet is a fairly simple task. All you need is a gun vise, a piece of copy machine paper for a target, a piece of wood for a backstop, and several different weights of pellets that match the caliber of your air gun.

Start by mounting your air gun in your gun vise and aim it in the direction of your target. Make sure that your gun vise is also locked down so that it cannot move. Take a medium weight pellet and fire a shot at your target to see where the pellet hits. Move your backstop with your target attached instead of your air gun until you are hitting the near the middle of the target. Then lock down your target so that it cannot move.

What you are doing is finding the perfect balance of pellet weight to air pressure. When you find this balance, you will know the perfect weight of the pellets to use for your air gun. This will allow you to predictably hit where you aim every time. This perfect weight is called the "magic pellet".

You always want to start with the lightest caliber pellet, shoot a string of six shots and take a look the diameter of the group you have produced.

For example, let's say that your air gun is .22 caliber and its air pressure is 3000 pounds per square inch (psi). An 11 grain pellet may exceed the speed of sound (1125 feet per second- fps), make a nice loud crack, but produce a group of holes three inches in diameter for a string of six shots at ten meters and but barely stick into the backstop. It would be hard to hit anything with this pellet because there is too much air pressure for the weight of the pellet.

Label your target, remove it from the backstop and install a new target for your next six shot string. Move up in weight to a 17 grain pellet and then to a 21 grain pellet and observe that the group diameter is becoming smaller. With each heavier pellet weight, you are coming closer to balancing the pellet weight to air pressure.

Then move up in weight to a 28 grain pellet and the group diameter narrows even more and you may notice that the penetration is becoming deeper with each consecutive six shot sequence. This means you are getting closer. The weight of the pellet and the air pressure are beginning to balance.

Then Move up in weight again to a 32 grain pellet and you will see that there is no longer a diameter of holes, but a single hole for the six shot string and the pellet has gone completely through your backstop. You have arrived! The weight of the pellet and the air pressure are now in perfect balance.

Once you have found the ideal weight you do not want to go heavier. A lot of people think that heavier is better, however this is not true. When you go heavier you will notice that penetration becomes less because the pellet is too heavy for the air pressure. This also causes the pellet to not fly straight and you will miss your target.

Regardless of the caliber or the air pressure produced by your air gun, this simple procedure will work for you every time so that you will always know the magic pellet for your air gun.

But what about the other pellet weights? Do you just throw them away? Were they a waste of money? Not at all, in a future article I will discuss how it is possible for an air gun to indeed have more than one magic pellet.

In the meantime remember, to hit where you are aiming, a shooter must know the magic pellet.

Upgrading Your Existing Corn Toss Game? Try Weather Resistant Cornhole Bags

!±8± Upgrading Your Existing Corn Toss Game? Try Weather Resistant Cornhole Bags

The corn toss game is a lot of fun, and many people love to play it, but there's one problem with it - if you live in a humid climate or you like to play the game around water, the moisture can do damage to the bags and the board. While both are at risk, the bags get damaged by moisture much more easily and much faster than the board will.

Cornhole bags can also sustain damage from insects and critters like squirrels and raccoons, because these small animals are attracted to the corn that the bags are stuffed with. It's not a good thing to have to throw away your cornhole bags because something ate part of them, or because they got moldy and mildewy from the humid climate where you live.

Even if you take good care of the bags for your corn toss game they will still break down over time and have to be replaced, but there is a solution - weather resistant cornhole bags. These are the same size and weight as standard cornhole bags, so they meet all regulations. However, they are made with plastic pellets instead of corn, so they won't biodegrade. They also won't be harmed if they get wet, and there's nothing interesting about them when it comes to small animals wanting to eat them. You can buy weather resistant cornhole bags or you can make your own, whichever you want to do.

A lot of people do make their own cornhole bags - and sometimes the boards, too - because they're serious about the game and they know that making something like this is something fun that families can do together. There is a lot of reward to making your own bean bag toss bags, but buying them works, as well, especially if you're in a hurry, don't have a lot of free time, or don't feel comfortable making your own. The option is there, however, if you're ever so inclined to create your own weather resistant cornhole bags.

Whether you buy them or make them, they're a great idea, especially if you live in a humid climate. Even people who live in dry climates do well with them, though, since animals aren't interested in them. Any time you have food around, even corn in a small, tossable sack, there will be some animal or insect that will see it as a meal. Naturally, this is something that you'd generally like to avoid, and rather than fight off bugs, creatures, biodegration, and humidity, it makes a lot more sense to simply get weather resistant cornhole bags for your bean bag or corn toss game.

That way you won't have any more worries about the bags that you're using and they'll be ready for you whenever and wherever you decide that you want to play the corn toss game. It's hard to get any better than that, and it'll stop any chance of ruining a get-together or family outing due to damaged or degraded corn in the standard corn toss bags. The plastic pellets in the weather resistant cornhole bags will last much longer.
