Episode 26: Airgun Operating Systems

This is a basic rundown of the most common operating systems for airguns: pneumatic, CO2, and spring-piston.  Also, here's a link to a very clear article about hoplophobia:

Why do people so often assume the worst of our intentions?  Just listen to the talking candy bar blues.

Oh... sorry if you got an error message when you tried to download my last release.  Just after I published episode 25, I re-posted episode 23 and blew out the bandwidth on my free hosting service.  Dang! I should have taken Mark Vanderberg's good advice to upgrade my account just a day earlier.  My bad.  It won't happen any more.

Episode 1: Don't Feel Bad

Ahead of time, and under budget!

Here’s my first offering of the Frugal Shooter Podcast. The main topic is Don’t Feel Bad. You can want a lot of things, but the financial realities just always seem to get in the way. We seldom ever hear about the “second best” brands of firearms, and when we do, it’s always from a disdainful point of view. Don’t feel bad. Just get shooting!

While I was dictating the podcast, I was working off a bullet point crib sheet in hopes of being more fluid than I would have been if I had simply read from a script. As I listen back to it, I notice that I flow better when I’m talking about the guns and not myself.

Go figure.

So I hope you enjoy this; I’ll be publishing a new episode every 2 weeks. If you have any feedback for me, email me at frugalshooter@gmail.com.

Episode 1: Don't Feel Bad

Introduction to the Frugal Shooter

Hi!
Hi! I'm cheap. Some polite people may say I'm parsimonious, frugal, or thrifty. Nope! I'm a cheap bastard.

... but I like to shoot. There's a conflict of interest, especially these days. This blog is dedicated to saving money, but developing shooting skills and getting in as much trigger time as financially feasible.

Wish me luck, and wish you money saved.
