The rifle is half
the purchase.
The rifle is half the purchase. A pre-charged pneumatic arrives empty, and how you fill it shapes what the whole setup costs and where you can shoot. Sort this out before you pick a caliber, not after.

The whole point.
On a backyard lane or near livestock, the moderator is what makes the shot possible at all. We carry DonnyFL — the name most airgunners land on — along with Impulse Air and others.
Rules on moderators vary by state and by city, and so do rules on discharging any projectile where you live. Check yours before you order, and call us if you are not sure — we are glad to talk it through, but we cannot give legal advice.
Compressor, tank,
or both?
There is no universally right answer, only a right answer for how far you live from a fill source and how often you shoot. Here is the honest trade.
Compressor
Carbon-fiber tank
The bottom line. Most people who shoot at home end up with both: a compressor at the house and a tank in the truck. If you are only going to own one thing to start with, tell us how far you are from the shop and how often you shoot, and we will tell you which one.
The decision people
most often want back.
Caliber is the decision people most often want back. It is close to irreversible without buying a barrel kit, so it is worth ten minutes on the phone before it is worth a credit card.
Texas floor for squirrel and upland birds is .177 at 600 fps or better.
The most ammunition choice of any caliber. Where most people should start.
Meaningfully more energy than .22 without a big jump in air consumption.
The smallest caliber Texas permits for deer-class game, and only with 150+ grains.
Fewer shots per fill, far more energy. Bring a tank.
We stock pellets and slugs in .177, .22, .25, .30 and .35, plus big-bore slugs to .458 and .510. Barrels are individuals — the projectile your rifle groups best is found by testing, not by reading a chart.
