When it comes to thoughtful gift giving, often it’s the little things that make the biggest impression. The icing on the cake, so to speak, are the things that people often overlook when getting into a new hobby or just overlook because there are bigger, more interesting things that they focus on, like the main subject of their hobby. In our case, having an airgun or two or eight is nothing unusual.

Just in time for the Holiday season, we now have gift cards available on our website! Gift giving can be hard when you know just enough about your loved ones to know what they like but not enough to know exactly what it is they want or need. This is where our gift cards shine!

Since I started working here over ten years ago, the catalog has grown and grown. We have so many different product categories and so many different products within those categories that it is really quite remarkable. We truly do have something for everyone. With that said, I have already addressed hunting and target shooting airguns in this Christmas Gift Guide series and I recently addressed our best selling licensed replicas as well. But there are some products that are just fun and as such, they deserve an entry in this series on their own.

In the last few years the Umarex rifle game has gotten very strong. Not that it wasn’t slapping already, but these days, we have everything from big bore PCPs to youth plinkers and everything in between. And what is a Christmas without opening up an air rifle? Not much of one. Below you’ll find the best selling air rifles in our catalog. Check it out and maybe you’ll find the perfect one for yourself or a loved one. Caveat Emptor: Inventory of any or all of these may not be available as we approach the Christmas Holiday.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch. That bit of axiomatic wisdom has been, or should have been drilled into your head by this point. The truth is, if someone is standing on the street corner giving stuff away, there’s a catch to it. Likewise, there are hidden costs often associated with items on occasion. For instance, if you have purchased a higher-end trail camera you will have discovered that to get maximum use out of it, you will have to pay a monthly fee to get the images beamed through space and to your phone.

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.

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?
