While we were up in Ohio for the Pyramyd Air Cup a few weeks ago we couldn’t help but notice one of the other vendors there as well. This would be Buck Rail, owned and operated by Terry Harman. Terry is a veteran who loves pew-pews and airguns. He’s also a savvy businessman who was smart enough to focus on a market that isn’t anywhere nearly as crowded as the firearm market– and that would be the airgun market. Yes, the airgun market is still what you would call a niche market, but we do have an enthusiastic group of customers in the airgunning realm. What Terry is doing with Buck Rail is creating products and modifications for airguns that are extremely practical and functional.

About a year ago we started selling the Notos .22 caliber PCP air rifle. Or is it an air pistol? Whatever it is and whatever form you choose to use it in, you guys evidently thought very highly of this little bumblebee of an airgun. We’ve actually had a difficult time keeping them in stock, which is a positive in that the Notos is popular, but also a negative in that it has been so hard to attain for many people.

The Pre-Charged Pneumatic trend is, at this point, not a trend. It is a fact of life that is here to stay. For the bulk of shooters, getting into a PCP with the required compressor or pump just takes too big of a bite out of their wallet.

In the world of emergency preparedness, ensuring that one has reliable and efficient tools is paramount. Among these tools, nitrogen cartridge rifles, like the Umarex Komplete™ NCR, have emerged as a significant asset for preppers. These rifles, which utilize cartridges pre-filled with nitrogen gas to a pressure of 3,600 psi, offer several unique advantages that make them an excellent choice for survival scenarios. Here, we delve into why these innovative airguns are gaining popularity in the prepper community.

Once upon a time Waylon Jennings asked in song, “Don’t you think this outlaw bit’s done got out of hand?” The 70s were wild and (good) Country music was rebelling from the “countrypolitan” sounds that had taken over Nashville. The change was needed, although it wasn’t for everyone. Some people will insist on the same old pablum they’ve been consuming for years and years. But sometimes you have to break a few rules, a few windows, or a few hearts to make something really good happen. We think we have done just that with the Umarex Komplete™ Nitrogen Cartridge Rifle (NCR) pre-charged pneumatic air rifle system.

For Stephen Lamboy, director of strategic development, the launch of the Umarex Komplete NCR and NitroAir® is the culmination of years of design work, testing and quite a bit of dealing with red tape.

Spring is right around the corner and not a moment too soon. Granted, here in the South we didn’t have all that hard of a winter.  Yes, in spite of my chin whiskers, winter is not my favorite season– even if it is a mild winter. We’ve had our first taste of spring already.  Actually, we’ve had two waves of spring.  Down here we call them the “Fool’s Spring and the “Spring of Deception”.

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. No big surprises there. However we often receive questions from people looking to get into a PCP air rifle about filling methods and air tank size. With that said, we will briefly address our PCP airgun line, their tank sizes, and recommended methods for filling each gun’s tank.

So you took your favorite Umarex air rifle into the woods and brought back a limit of squirrels - now what? Head to the kitchen, of course! While you can use squirrel meat in just about any dish as a substitute for other game or poultry, here are three of our favorite ways to prepare it.

Umarex Airguns is pleased to announce a new multimedia partnership with Brian “Pigman” Quaca. One of the most entertaining hunting show hosts, Pigman has developed a dedicated following via his long-running TV series and social media.
