Airgun shooting in the Olympic Games, the new Leapers scope base for RWS Diana guns & Q&A - Pyramyd Air Waves, issue #20

The Olympic Games are the pinnacle when it comes to airgunning. Air rifle shooting was first added as a sport in 1984, and air pistol followed in 1988. All shooting is done at a distance of 10 meters, and special targets were developed to record scores. The Games begin August 8, and the first shooting competition is on August 9. Learn more about 10-meter shooting in this special Olympic broadcast.

Leapers and Tom Gaylord have developed a special scope mount base for RWS Diana rifles. Tom walks you through the basic issues of mounting scopes on Diana guns and how the new base solves them.

In the Q&A segment, Tom answers listener questions about the possibility of an Umarex Single-Action Army pistol, how to remove the front sight of a gun and the lowdown on RWS Diana rifles.

Tom Gaylord (host of Pyramyd Air Waves) has been an airgunner for over a half-century, but it was the Beeman company in the 1970s that awoke a serious interest in airguns. Until then, all he knew were the inexpensive American airguns. Through the pages of the Beeman catalog, he learned about adult airguns for the first time.

In 1994, Tom started The Airgun Letter, with his wife, Edith. This monthly newsletter was designed to bring serious reports about airguns to the American public. The newsletter and Airgun Revue, a sister magazine about collectible airguns, was published from 1994 until 2002, when Tom started Airgun Illustrated--the first American newsstand magazine about airguns.

Tom worked for three years as technical director at AirForce Airguns, the makers of the Talon and Talon SS precharged air rifles. Today, he writes about airguns and firearms for various publications and web sites. He also makes videos, and you'll find short clips embedded in some of his articles on our web site.
