Without a doubt, the biggest news in the airgun world happened nine years ago and that was Umarex’s announcement that we had acquired licensing rights for the most universally recognized firearm manufacturer on the planet, GLOCK. One of the first officially licensed products to appear in the Um...

Some things are just American institutions. You know, baseball, apple pie, 1911’s. Once in a while the powers that be mess with the rules of baseball, but, more or less, the game you can go to the park and watch today is the same game you could have watched in the 1980’s and that game was the s...

Hunting season is just on the horizon. Actually, some rays are peaking through the trees. Most hunters are making preparations for their fall hunting right now.  Food plots are being tended to, trail cameras are going up, gear is being purchased and hunters are reviewing regulations for the upc...

So our blog entry is a little late on this… For that I apologize. The Notos G2 arrived right in the midst of preparation for the Pyramyd Cup competition.  As the guy who heads up our website content and also leads our the Umarex USA Shooting Team, I dropped the ball on writing this summer in fa...

This summer has been a busy one. Who am I kidding, every summer month, every fall month– the whole dang calendar is busy year after year.  This year has felt especially busy.  I know my time has been divided up more between work, family, events, and even carving out some time to relax. Norm...

Pre-Charged Pneumatic airgunning is big these days. All it takes is shooting one to figure out why.  Airgunners have awoken to the fact that airguns of today are much better than any airgun that was available 20 years ago. Even in the span of the last 10 years,  PCP airguns have increased calib...

There’s so much going on these days. You have to make choices and be deliberate when it comes to what you will invest your time into.  Remember, time is the only currency that you aren’t guaranteed to get, you are guaranteed to spend, and, in a single day, everyone has access to the same hours ...

Work. Physical activity. Labor. These terms in an age of automatic this and power that are a bit anachronistic. When I was a kid, I always thought that working out in the gym during the summer break was a neat concept, but I was too tired from mixing cement and keeping the brick layer I worked f...

Shooting replica airguns, that is to say airguns that are one-to-one replicas of firearms, is an extremely fun way to enjoy shooting.  I’ve now been in the airgun industry in one form or another for well over a decade now and can testify that airguns are a hit with many different demographics f...
