Having addressed the subject of airgun power, we should now consider the issue of preparing for the hunt.

A .177 caliber air rifle in the hands of a skilled, patient hunter is an effective tool for harvesting small game and eliminating pests.
The development of regulations related to use of arms of any type is a volatile area that undergoes rapid change.
If done correctly, shooting sports and hunting can be safe, enjoyable activities.
Although it is possible to hunt with nothing more than an air rifle equipped with effective sights and some suitable pellets, there are other tools that add to the enjoyment and success.
Learn the aspects of air gun ballistics that are essential for effective use in hunting. Read about pellet gun ballistics and find your target with Crosman.

A shotgun fires a load that consists of many pellets. Precise aiming is not required to hit a target as long as the pellets are not spread out too much.
How many shots will you get when the Airbow is filled to 3000psi? 8 shots while holding a consistent velocity (approx. 450fps); then you will start to see a 15-20 fps velocity drop per shot after the 8th shot. You should get about 10 shots before the velocity drops below 400fps (1800psi). At that point we recommend you top off your reservoir with air.
Velocity is defined as the change in distance with time. In other words, it is how far an object goes in a unit of time.
