Have two air pistols and one air rifle to shoot down in the basement. For when I do get to the range I have .22 conversion kits for my two CZs (P01 and P07), to go with my TacSol 2211.
I searched the web last week for a Benjamin Trail sb2 on sale...none to be had. For the same money I ordered the hatsun 95 vortex from airgun depot. We will have to compare notes to see who got the better deal!The 22 cal Benjamin Trail by Crosman. A 500 round tin of 22 cal. Crosman Premier pellets
I have carbon shafts, but the look like cedar.Yep.
Fletching, nocking and tipping Port Orford cedar shafts is replacing reloading for the time being... .
It'll have to be below 700fps or ill have to run it through my ffl.Slingshot
$47 for the caps plus $36 shipping (for something smaller than a skoal can) plus the $18 hazmat fee? I’m not hurting that bad. But maybe someone is.Guys LG Outdoors shows #11 caps in stock as of now.
Years ago, i hosted a weekly traditional archery(recurve) league shoot in my shop. If it weren't for my bum shoulder, I would consider contacting the guys and do it again. At least we could get some shooting and competition in.
The ammo crisis hasn't slowed down the bp club too much, at least not the flintlock shooters.
I have ordered a break action .22 pellet rifle.
I shoot a little centerfire or rimfire every week to stay in practice, but i don't want to bite too deep into my supply.
So for now, archery, blackpowder, and airguns are scratching my itch.
What are you guys doing during the component/ ammo drought besides abstinence?

I can't use the present tense but that Sheridan of mine above not only hunted but got me good money to supplement my traps too.Who is actually hunting with their pellet rifle?
.... I've squirrel hunted in the past with the ..22 cal. Benjamin Trail from my earlier post. 14.6 gr. pellet @ an average 816 FPS, ( I chronographed it myself ). Did it for the challenge and because I had already seen what those pellets did to inanimate objects. It's fun if you have the patience to wait for the right shot; which is what hunting's all about. One thing I've learned is with that pellet weight & velocity my maximum range is about 20 yards to be ethical about it. But it's legal here and the season runs until the end of February. I was planning on some more 22LR squirrel hunts before then but I may take the Benjamin Trail out again just because it hasn't taken a squirrel in the last couple seasons. With regular firearms & ammunition currently in short supply and thus expensive, air rifles are gonna see a popularity increase which could mean that they, too, will go up in price and down in selection.Who is actually hunting with their pellet rifle?
