Cost? Absolutely FREE! The organizers are happy to support this national event for the pleasure of all airgunners!

Who? All airgunners of all ages are invited. (Under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult). No firearms, only airguns.

Why? Because we think it is appropriate to continue to provide the venue for the promotion of airgunning with this FREE event.

Air Rifle Origami

We are close to perfecting the long awaited folding stock, although we are still trying to make it work with the Tornado. So for now, only the Caiman will be available in this configuration.

To make it really compact, the rear stock folds flush against the side of the forearm. It will also have two set screws accessible from the bottom that will let you adjust it for LOP. The folding mechanism is massive to give it rigidity. I am really looking forward to what promises to be a fun little quick take-down carbine.







Stay tuned ....

1st A.M.N.S.O.

I am inviting our local hunters to try and join this even because the disciplines are similar. I think it is the best way to test your skills under pressure and what you learn from this can help you become a better shot and a better hunter. Most of all, you will all have fun there, the friendly rivalry and camaraderie can't be beat!


I'd like to remind everyone that we have a promotion for the 1st ever to win a major national or invitational MS or FT match using one of our rifles. We will be giving away the following items for 1st to 5th place.

1ST PLACE WINNER – H.W. (GERMANY) BARREL 24” LONG BY 16MM O.D., CHOKED in .177 OR 22 (depends on stock on hand)

Good shooting to everybody. =)

25 cal Bigboy Caiman

We have been experimenting on a .25 caliber Big Boy Caiman with a 20
inch HW barrel for the export market. Noli just reported what he's getting so far:



Pellets: Beeman FTS (19.5g approx)

1st Shot: 904.9fps


20th Shot: 908.8fps


30th Shot: 908.22fps


40th Shot: 900.1fps


50th Shot: 896.0fps


60th Shot: 909.1fps


70th Shot: 890.0fps


Shot to shot dev: 4 - 6 fps

Starting fill: 3,100 psi
End Fill: 2,000 psi


Now, to also make a related theory, we expect the new 19 grain .22 cal Hystans to perform similarly, but with more shots of course because of the added pressure created by the smaller volume of the .22 cal barrel.
