The old saying is that money doesn’t grow on trees.  Yes, the struggle is real and these days more and more people are struggling to pay their bills, let alone pick up some new gear for their hobbies. Inflation and stagnant wages are tag-teaming us average Joe's to cause pain.  One of the nice...

Forgive me for coming up with such a creative title. Sometimes you just can’t church it up and you are left with being boring and succinct. As succinctly as possible, it would appear that the topic of this blog will deal with comparing PCP air rifles to each other and then, those rifles to the common .22LR rimfire caliber. If you have gathered that much, thank you.

Sitting quietly in the pages of our catalog is a little rifle that was introduced about 4 years ago. Well, introduced isn’t the right word. It would be better to say that the Fusion 2 was re-introduced as the successor of the original Fusion. While these two rifles did share the same power source, 12g CO2, and both shot .177 caliber pellets- the revamped Fusion 2 utilized a 9-shot rotary magazine and slick bolt action. Not to mention the CO2 tube was vastly improved as well.

And it’s about time. Yes, the Gauntlet 2SL in .22 and .25 have arrived. In case you need a reminder, the Gauntlet has historically used a bolt action system, but now the new generation of the Gauntlet is equipped with a side lever. We were able to introduce the .30 caliber Gauntlet SL earlier in the year and it was a huge success. We sold out in a short period of time and have been awaiting a restock. Moreover, the people who chose the G30 SL loved the side lever and love the big 24 cubic inch tank and consistent performance the Gauntlet is known for.

As the technology of airguns improves, the need for better quality ammo becomes paramount. Umarex’s Brimstone line of airgun ammo meets - and exceeds - that need. Brimstone pellets and slugs are precision crafted to minimize defects that reduce accuracy. The low-drag and carefully balanced shape is designed to dump as much kinetic energy into the target as possible. This equates to punching crisp holes in airgun competition targets and also being able to take down game animals more efficiently and ethically.

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.

Spring brings new opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts, including squirrel hunting. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or a beginner looking to explore this sport, these tips will help enhance your springtime bushytail hunting experience.
