Pellet-on-pellet at 30m.

The Czech-built Epic Vision P*P has arrived on test, and Dave Barham reckons it’s “insanely accurate”.

With interchangeable calibres, an adjustable trigger and around 200 shots per fill, this £1,355 P*P packs serious performance into a lightweight package.

A 40-yard target at 10x looks four yards away. That’s the appeal of Keck Optics’ new Precision ED 2-10×32 FFP IR.

Nigel Allen tests the ultra-compact scope, finding excellent centre clarity and reliable zero on a recoiling springer, despite some edge distortion.

Would you trade magnification for a brighter, more compact scope?

Two rules define hunter field target: no rangefinding, and no adjusting your rifle or scope after the first shot.

With 30 targets set from 8 to 45 yards, every shot comes down to judging range and using holdover, holdunder and wind.

Our revised guide covers the rules, scoring and how to find a club.

Ten organisations shape every shot you take, and most airgunners could not name half of them.

From BASC's airgun-only membership with first resort liability insurance to the BFTA's grading ladder, UKAHFT's nine-round national series and the general licences behind every woodpigeon you shoot, this is who governs, insures, coaches and represents British airgunning. Which ones have earned your membership?

Four quarters of falling performance. What does it mean for airgunners?

The latest police licensing figures for England and Wales show performance slipping for a fourth consecutive quarter, with just 70.21% of applications completed within the four-month service-level aspiration.

For FAC air rifle users, that means allowing plenty of time for applications, renewals and variations. In Scotland, airgun licensing is handled separately by Police Scotland, but the latest figures offer a useful look at the wider pressures on licensing departments.

How long did your certificate take?

Does a heavier pellet really hit harder? A block of ballistic gel says it is not that simple.

Gary Chillingworth sends both calibres from the same Daystate Blackwolf into the same block, and watches where each pellet gives up its energy. Inside the 12ft/lb limit they leave the muzzle carrying much the same to give.

Dragons, singing locals and Gary Chillingworth nearly winning the Welsh Open.

Parakeets are becoming an airgun question.

BASC wants ring-necked and monk parakeets added to the quarry lists, arguing this would give farmers and landowners clearer options to control the invasive birds.

For now, England has some general licence cover, while Wales and Scotland require individual licences. Parakeets can compete for nest holes and damage fruit and crops.

BASC rejects claims the proposal is about sport. The decision is due on 10 August.
