In Search of.......Airgun Info!
Years ago, there was a TV show hosted by Leonard Nimoy, the actor who portrayed Spock on Star Trek, titled "In Search Of....". It was a great little show, seeking to explain phenomenom and other interesting things that make you go "hmmm". As an airgunner, there have been times when I've wondered about this or that on issues of airgunning, and have taken refuge in the experience and expertise of others.
One very useful bit of information has been catalogued and is available for download. A fellow airgunner on one of the many airgun forums took the time to make so much information easily available that I wanted to share with you how to access it.
Rather than fill up the page here on the blog with several printed pages of instructions, I'll post a link to where you can find the directions to access this wealth of knowledge. Here it is:

There is quite a bit of info there, so be sure to follow the directions to use the torrent download option in order to access the wealth of knowledge available.
Another useful little software package that helps airgunners the world over enjoy sharing pictures of their airguns, hunting trophies, or other airgun related events, is a little gem called IrfanView. Most forums and websites that allow you to upload pictures want you to downsize the original to a more manageable size so that the website can still load quickly. IrfanView is great for resizing and otherwise working with your pictures in order to save, adjust, and post your pictures for the benefit of others. And, it was developed by a fellow airgunner Irfan Skiljan, a graduate of the Vienna University of Technology. And it's FREE!
Hook up your IrfanView-manipulated files to a free picture hosting service such as Photobucket, and you are ready to share your pics with others. And making our shooting community bigger and more influential is one of the keys to keeping our shooting and hunting rights safe from the advances of those who would do away with them. So check out these resources, and enjoy your airgun shooting with more knowledge at your fingertips, and an easier way to share your hobby pics with others.

Happy Thanksgiving!
