What is tuning an airgun? How do I tune my airgun?  Such an important topic to address but it is tricky considering all that goes into tuning. In short, tuning is finding the "sweet spot" for your gun with certain ammo where you maximize accuracy and air efficiency; however, not all airguns give you the components to tune in this fashion. Some may only allow a simple adjustment to be made that changes airflow output but still can in theory be tuned. So, be sure to take notes and check out tuning and ballistics videos as they go hand in hand. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theairgunpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theairgunpodcast/support

How do I become a better shot at long range? How can I stretch out my max range of being effective and accurate for hunting? Where do I aim when I'm shooting at an angle? These are all very important questions to ask when it comes to shooting. A very popular question when it comes to precision shooting with airguns is what app to use for your ballistics calculations but even more so is how to set up the app. In this Q&A we talk about why you should have a ballistics app to maximize your long range accuracy and what data is necessary to give you the best chances of your app calculating correctly for you. This means ballistic coefficients, humidity, spin drift etc... Many variable are at play so the more data you can gather the better.

Could it be that we as Hunters are one of the biggest threats to hunting existing in the future? Are we part of the reason the lifestyle is under attack? How can we change the tide? Many deep questions like this rise to the surface as Robbie Kroger and I tackle the subject of hunting. Robbie's pursuit of these questions gave rise to the Non-Profit "Blood Origins", who's primary goal is to convey the truth about hunting and how to align ourselves properly with that message. Like it or not, we are responsible in large for the picture in non hunters' minds about what it means to hunt and to be a hunter.

Justin and I talk about how he made the switch from firearms to airguns and why he hasn't gone back to shooting firearms in over 2 years! His upbringing in the world of firearms makes this all the more surprising and interesting but the experience he has had so far with ariguns and airgun technology has made the willing change of shooting styles a blast. From his very first airgun competition to now shooting hogs from a helicopter with some of the world's best known shooters, Welch has been hooked on air for good and the best is yet to come.

In this episode with former Paratrooper Rudy Nunez we talk a newcomer's perspective on the airgun community and an incredibly diverse system for filming hunts. As the sport of airgunning explodes and the love of hunting and shooting footage grows, more and more people want to be in on the action of recording and documenting their hunts whether that is directly through the scope or mounted to the weapon. With modern 4k scope camera setups for (but not limited to) airgunners costing upwards of $1200 and being limited to rifle scopes only, it is really good to see a company providing the same quality product for significantly less money. As Rudy explains, where the real bargain comes in is the versatility of the TACTACAM system. The simple and streamlined process for switching your TACTACAM between your weapons of choice makes all the difference in the world when it comes to ease and convenience. From Airgun, to Bow, to Shotgun, all that needs to move is the camera itself and not the entire mounting system. If you're in the market for this kind of thing, TACTACAM is a great place to start looking.

Everyone knows there is the political side to this beloved industry but it's tricky to know when you should be getting involved and take a side and when you should just leave it be and carry on. Most of the time you shouldn't be too concerned. You should just enjoy the sport, all the good it has to offer and the fact that you have a sweet gun. So Tyler and I talk airgun politics, business strategies and why certain manufacturers use other companies is ultimately for our good as the consumers.

After being introduced to big bore airgun hunting by a friend, Chad's interest in airguns and power modifications grew exponentially. It was only a short time before it became a full time job operating Lethal Air Airgun Shop. Lethal Air was able to produce super-powered big bores capable of energy outputs never-before-seen in the airgun industry and they are not stopping anytime soon. As of the latest, they have a 50 caliber airgun putting out over 1,200 FPE (foot pounds of energy)! Just for some perspective we can take a one-hundred and fifty grain .308 hunting round traveling at almost three-thousand feet per second. This is far above super-sonic speeds with pressures upwards of sixty-thousand PSI occurring in the barrel of that gun.  We are able to produce almost half of that energy with working pressures of only 4,500 PSI compared to the 60,000. With this type of technology it has opened the door even further for ethical big game hunting with airguns. Chad hosts camps each year now like the "Maine Bear Camp" where food, lodging and the animal are all in one inclusive package for the big bore airgun hunters.

Though his roots for starting on YouTube were all about classic airguns, Joe saw a gap in the "guns" niche that had room for improvement and took advantage of that opportunity. With the help and support of several other airgun community members, Joe's channel "Cyclops Videos Joe W Rhea" has taken off and is one of the top channels for reviewing optics. One key factor to his growth is his personality and sense of humor. Not only do we cover the YouTube secrets and the journey of growing a channel, but we cover the real life challenges and practicality associated with doing this. Life happens in the midst of pursuing your passions and hobbies and you must overcome those obstacles to succeed. Joe embodies what it means to persevere through many different trials and is seeing the fruit of what dedication, authenticity and consistency bring. Making a point to be vulnerable and talk about real life challenges and hardships makes this one of my favorite episodes because of how real and raw it is. It's not all fun and games; kittens and rainbows. But, as always, we cover airgun topics and practical advice regarding shooting them and which one is right for you.

Chris Turek, known as "UpNorthAirgunner" on social media, has made a big splash in the hunting community by way of super powerful, large caliber airguns. With a military background in Armored Tanks and long range combat, Chris knows what it takes to get the job done at distance. We discuss when and how to properly use airguns for hunting and where their limits lie as well as how to get involved in your community to begin the approval process of airgun hunting for big game animals. Chris has personally confirmed hits on target at over 1200 yards with airguns. He holds a confirmed world record along side this feat and has been seen on his YouTube channel performing many other challenging shots. Among many new innovations, one topic we tackle is copper ammo for airguns. Copper ammunition, up until the latest advancements, has not been on the radar in the airgun industry because the issue of friction and lack of pressure produced by airguns compared to firearms, however; Turek is currently working with a company in the firearms world to cross over into airguns with new ammunition technology that could forever change the big bore hunting capacity of airguns allowing copper slugs to enter the scene and be utilized with astonishing accuracy.
