I believe it was written by Ed with an explaination of his efforts and reasons why.

The pond is a fantastic game magnet during the day or night which makes 90% of my shots relatively short, easy and shooting from a home door, does help keep things quiet.

The water feature also attracts some critters that you may not want, but staying up…Read more

Fill it with alternate layers of styrofoam and heavy carped backed up with rags, a piece sheet metal (to tell when wearing out) and another piece of wood in back.

For higher power guns, I simply sacrifice soft wood 4 X 4’s of scrap wood or stacked pieces of wood crate…Read more

Talon is .177 but I have the 22 barrel yet to be used. The Maurader is 22.

I found the Maurader to be much quieter and easier to shoot short range due to increased difference between barrel and scope on the Talon. the multi shot on the Maurader…Read more

Much more hitting power and more humane than using a .177. Last year I saw around 20% crawl-aways with my .177, after switching to my 22 marauder – zero crawlers plus the ability to take out ground hogs, racoons which can be a challenge with a .177.

I also found that my Marauders did…Read more

I shoot CO2 indoors in the winter at 68 deg. F and after around 10-12 shots with 15 seconds between…Read more

About 4″ long, extremely bright, acceptable bettery life and no too large – 7/8″ APP.

I got the a single piece mm to weaver adaptor rail and it fits will on the front of my Talon SS just ahead of the scope.

I center all points at around 40′ (good for me) and by knowing the relative distances between the mounting points; i.e. the distance between the barrel and the laser and the laser and the scope; I can…Read more

I would recommend getting the Beeman adjustable one-piece scope mount for any Air Force Weapon. Depending upon the distances shooting, because of the elevation distance between the barrel and scope on Air Force guns, the adjustable scope mount allows you to sight the scope in for shorter ranges without using up all of the…Read more

You will end up with a gun with more power, better long range accuracy and also quieter than a standard Talon SS with a 12″ barrel for not much more money.

I did this with my Talon SS and went with a 24″ barrel and aftermarket…Read more

The 10.65 Beeman Kodiak double golds are as accurate, but I like the speed of the Ft’s.

I use the JSB Predators exclusively for all hunting, and they are surprisingly accurate for me.

I have been shooting my Talon SS .177 CO2 almost every night for 3-4 weeks and the scope is always true.

I purchased the Beeman 5039 adjustable (1″ high) scope mount which is a 1″ high, one piece mount with an adjustment for both elevation and windage. It has continuous mounting on the Talon SS rail.

This is a quality product at $79.00 which I feel was an excellent move since it…Read more
