recurve shooter:
cool. never even knew they made airguns of those callibers. i have slain many squirrels with my little benjamin though.  ;D

n2everythg:
that is some tasty looking grub.

I love my airguns. great around my suburban neighborhood.
My favorite is my airforce condor. 22 cal. got it dialed in modded up and it is quiet as a brad gun and accurate out to 75 yds or more. I mean I can put 8 out of 10 in a quarter shooting off a bench at 50+ yds.
Its awesome for small game up to coon sized critters.
Would love to play with some of the larger cal airguns.
Airguns are tons of fun.
Nice haul.

i need to get one thats more accurate than this piece of crap i have.  where can you get a good air gun? 

air guns have been around for a long time.  they were used 100's of years ago.  they ran them off a tank that was brazed together.  get like 15-20 shots i think off one tank. they didnt use them that much because it took like 1500 pumps to pump up the tank..

 Manny, High power air rifles are great. I grew up hunting everything with them and used to bring home allot of pheasant and quail with them. I really like the RWS models and years ago discovered a little secret by accident.
 I had run out of gun oil to clean the air rifle and so I used some WD-40  ;D On the next shot it went off like a 22 rim fire. Puzzled it dawned on me that the friction in the barrel must have ignited. So another drop down the barrel of WD-40 and again it made a quiet but noticeable bang.  I set up some phone books and discovered that I was getting about double the pentration when i used the WD trick. Not sure what the muzzle velocity was but normal was 1200 FPS and with the WD it would absolutely splatter a pellet on a steel plate.  After a year or so I eventually blew out the seals but it was fun while it lasted.  ;D

mullet:
  Manny, are you plucking those dove to get the breast out? If you are it is fast and easy to push your thumb under the breast bone and bend it backwards till it breaks. You can keep pulling and the meat will come out without the feathers or skin. I used to shoot my airgun but it was too loud to shoot in my backyard. I figured out how to quiet my 22 rifle so it sounds like a BB gun going off so I use it for squirrels.  Who makes the 45 cal airgun?
