The Airgun Podcast

Airguns are not what they used to be. They can do things from 1200+ yard shots to taking big game animals like Bison and Water Buffalo. The Airgun Podcast (T.A.P.) dives into the innovations that have brought them to where they are today and gets the stories of the people who have helped grow the industry and push the limits! T.A.P. covers as many aspects of airgunning as there is. From competition shooting of all sorts; long range hunting and big game hunting; big bores and small bores; custom guns and modifications and everything in between. Follow along on social media for more content.
