Introductions
Hi there Fellas (and ladies, a tip O’ the hat),
New guy here, a little about me, I am Dan, from a valley in the mountainous areas above Anchorage Alaska, I live just below treeline where I can smell the tundra and peat bogs from my back deck. I just joined up to make friends with fellow airgunners. I have rapidly become an airgun enthusiast over the past year. I decided to get into airgunning as an economical way of maintaining my marksmanship skill and to determine it’s practical purposes in hunting for me, and, after starting with a Benjamin 392 last year, and quickly upgrading to a Gamo Big Cat 1400 (with the worlds crummiest trigger of any gun I have ever seen) I have finally taken the plunge-plunking down and getting a TalonP Refurbished from Pyramid Air, and an R&L shroud, along with several hundred .25 pellets. I look forward to sharing my experience as I grow into this weapon, and look forward to making accquaintence with those of you here whose opinions are as measured as their personalities.

Welcome Dan, to the den of odd fellows! Sounds like you got a beautiful place. You’re in for a lot of experimentation with any of the Airforce guns, as they have a ton of adjustable features. A Pro Chrono by Competition Electronics, is a good investment. You’ll be wanting to get a decent bell curve of fps with the .25 JSB in the ballpark 900-930 fps, more or less. Each gun has it’s preferences.
A pellet trap, basically a heavy gauge steel box, filled with rubber mulch, is a good way to capture the lead for reuse. You can use a .22 regular bullet trap, but it’ll be noisy. That may not be an issue. There’s a guy named Andy up in AK somewhere. He’s using a .45 Ranger air gun and casts bullets. I’m hoping to do the same someday.
Have fun!
