Are Underlever air rifles any good?

Yes, un...

In the world of pew-pews power sells. Speed sells. Excess sells… that is until it becomes really painful to shoot. Anyone who has ever shot a .357 Magnum from a lightweight snub nose revolver can attest to this. In a pinch or under stress, it won’t matter, but just going to the range and shooting a few boxes of ammo from such a lightweight and powerful handgun is going to leave a painful reminder in your hand.

PCP air rifles are available in many different calibers. Logically, larger caliber air rifles consume more air per shot than smaller caliber air rifles and as a result those larger air rifles typically are sold with larger high pressure onboard air tanks.

With that said, we will briefly address our PCP airgun line, their tank sizes, and recommended methods for filling each gun’s tank.

Thousands of airgunners are getting ready for the most-exciting and anticipated time of the year - deer season. But suppose you’re new to the world of hunting with a PCP airgun like an Umarex Hammer? What do you need to know before your first season hunting big game with air?

In the south, we have false seasons. False Spring where we have a few warm days only to be followed by a couple weeks of bitter cold and lousy weather. Then we have false Summer. This is where the mercury creeps up into the 90s, but the water is still in the 50-60s– too cold to swim, but hot enough you want to. Then the weather shifts back down to the 70s for highs and you forget about those few warm days.

How do you really thank your customers for being dedicated fans of your brand and your products? There’s several ways this can be done. Our social media team will publish user generated content when given permission to do so. We offer sales and discounts through our Umarex Club Newsletter, and we also do as many public-focused events as we can. It never seems like enough, though. We have a great and growing group of fans and that not only feels good, but it has pushed Umarex Airguns up from a relative unknown to THE leading force in the airgun industry.

Umarex Airguns is excited to participate in the World Champion Squirrel Cook Off on Sept. 23. Held at the Ozark Highlands Nature Center in Springdale, Ark., the cook off is a celebration of the Ozarks and the humble squirrel. Forty teams from around the nation are expected to compete for the championship. Each three-person team has three hours to prepare their squirrel dish and a side for the judges.

Everyone loves an underdog story. If you don’t, I have no idea what it could be, but there’s something wrong with you. The little guy sticking his finger up in the face of a greater, more numerous and powerful force and winning should be the story that evokes heartwarming emotions and the desire to shake your own finger in the face of authority… or something like that.

Ok, that is a bit of a sensational headline. To be fair, it was the generosity of Firebird Targets that made our range and everyone else who was shooting on the Vendor Range at the 2023 Pyramyd Air Cup shake, rattle, and rain gravel!
