Hello Fellow Airgun Geeks,
The airgun world is moving fast, and this episode of The Airgun Geeks is packed with news every shooter should be watching.
Pat and Bill discuss recent legal action in New York that could affect air rifles, pellet guns, BB guns, PCP airguns, youth shooting, backyard plinking, competition shooting, and airgun retailers. Pending New York bills S9215 and A10701 have drawn attention because they would expand the definition of “imitation weapon” to include air rifles, pellet guns, and BB guns, with language affecting sales, marketing, and future airgun ownership in the state.
We also recap our visit to the Florida Outdoor Expo, an outdoor sports event featuring categories like hunting, fishing, camping, archery, boating, backyard living, motorsports, and more. From there, we talk about Bill’s new relationship with Pinty Airguns, Pat’s new gig with Sling Guru, and the recent IPAC competition in Florida, a precision long-range airgun event featuring benchrest, PRS/ELR-style challenges, and extreme-distance airgun shooting.
This episode is for PCP airgun users, pellet gun shooters, backyard shooters, field target competitors, benchrest shooters, big bore airgun fans, airgun hunters, plinkers, youth shooting supporters, 2A-minded airgun owners, gear reviewers, outdoor sports fans, and anyone following the future of airguns in America.
If you care about where the airgun industry is headed, this is one you do not want to miss.

Hello Fellow, Airgun Geeks,
    In this episode of The Airgun Geeks, Pat and Bill dig into the evolving 2026 competitive airgun landscape and talk through what serious shooters, hobbyists, and curious newcomers may want to keep an eye on. From shifting trends in competitive airgun shooting to the continuing conversation around Beeman legacy, this episode covers history, opinion, performance, and the kind of real-world insight that airgunners actually care about.
We also discuss a curious book Bill just finished, what stood out about it, and why it sparked conversation worth having in the wider airgun community. Along the way, we take a hard look at the Beeman name, what has held up over time, what still matters, and what simply does not hit the mark anymore.
Whether you’re into PCP air rifles, pellet guns, spring-piston airguns, backyard shooting, field target, benchrest, precision practice, airgun collecting, or airgun history, this episode has something for you. If you follow the sport for competition, nostalgia, gear evolution, or just to hear honest discussion from experienced voices in the space, this one is for you.
Topics in this episode include:
2026 competitive airgun trends
The changing face of match shooting
Beeman legacy in the airgun world
What works and what does not
Airgun history, design, and shooter expectations
A book discussion with lessons for today’s shooters
If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about airgun competition, PCP rifles, pellet shooting, vintage airguns, shooting sports, and practical gear talk, make sure to like, comment, and subscribe. Drop your thoughts in the comments: What do you think the 2026 competition scene will look like, and what does the Beeman legacy mean to you today?
