Airgun accessories - which ones to choose?
On the market you can find many useful accessories that come in handy when shooting a air gun. Some of them are even essential for effective shooting training, while others simply serve to enhance the shooting experience or provide adequate protection during play.
In this guide, you will find out which targets, objectives or shotgun shells you can choose to shoot with your air gun. We will also present useful accessories for storing airguns and those that will help to enhance your game. We will also discuss protective accessories, such as goggles, which are essential when handling a air gun.
What to shoot with an air gun? - targets and pellet guns
For shooting, it's not just a airgun and ammunition - you need to have something to shoot at. For added safety when shooting, it's a good idea to stock up on some basic accessories to test the capabilities of your airgun and your own skills.
Targets
Plain targets are the most popular choice among shooters. Each of these has the central, highest scoring fields very clearly marked, making aiming much easier. Another type of target is reactive models - for example, so-called FT figures, which are tin silhouettes of small animals with a marked white field called the kill zone or hit zone, when hit, in which the figure falls over. Re-setting is done by pulling a string, so even when shooting at 50 metres there is no need to run up to the target and set it up.
Pellet traps
If you want to fully enjoy shooting, then you should get a ball catcher. This device will catch all the bullets that hit its perimeter. It has a very simple mounting system, consisting of sliding a cardboard target into special holders. Using a pellet trap is also the shooter's contribution to protecting the environment by reducing the contact of lead bullets with our surroundings.
Accessories for transporting and storing airguns
Cover is indispensable when transporting a air gun to the place where it will be used for shooting. In our extensive range we have many covers in various colours, plain but also padded with a special sponge with embossing to prevent the weapon from moving inside.
The various sizes of our cases allow for the transportation of weapons with mounted optical instruments. (scope, collimator). The covers are made of highly durable materials and offer high quality at an affordable price.
The holster will allow you to carry your airgun comfortably and discreetly. Its use also allows you to increase the realism of playing with your airgun.
Thanks to the operational braces, you will be able to place the holster under your armpit, for example.
Accessories for maintaining airguns
An essential activity that the user of a airgun must perform is the maintenance of the equipment. You can find out how to properly undertake the maintenance procedure and what you will need in our windsock maintenance guide. Many types of lubricants and oils can be used for maintenance (protective, anti-corrosive, for wood), as well as cleaning notches.
Spare magazines
For some models of airguns we can buy additional magazines. Having a spare magazine allows you to shoot faster and more comfortably without having to reload shotgun shells frequently. This allows shooting practice without taking your eyes off the target to fill the magazine.
Airgun sights - laser and collimator
Musket-barrel sighting instruments will never enable you to shoot a air gun with the precision that rifle sights provide.
Laser sight
The laser target sight is a tool that makes quick targeting very easy. The device is very simple to use; when switched on, a small red dot - the Red Dot - is displayed at the point where the bullet hits. Laser sights have one advantage that other aiming devices do not - you aim with them without having to align the sights or even bring the weapon close to your eye. In simple terms, the straight laser beam is parallel to the straight axis of the barrel tube - due to ballistic precipitation, the curve of the bullet's flight path at a certain (close) distance coincides with the luminous dot.
Devices of this type are therefore very useful for any situational shooting where there is sometimes a lack of time for precise aiming, when it is less important to hit the 10 on the target and more important to rocket the kill zone.
It is ideal as a supplement to an optical sight or on its own for taking an effective shot at a moving target. Convenient mounting allows the equipment to be placed on weapons equipped with a MIL STD 1913 rail (popular Weaver or Picattiny), as well as on an 11 mm standard windage rail.
Collimator sight
Technologies until recently only available to the military, special forces and police have finally found their way into the hands of civilian shooting enthusiasts. The collimator sight is by far the finest optoelectronic instrument for rapid target acquisition and safe shooting. It displays on a small screen the point at which the bullet will hit.
The collimators have fully adjustable vertical and horizontal settings. The device is very simple to install and is ideal for pistols and revolvers, as well as shotguns and rifles. The use of collimator and holovision sights does not provide the same results as shooting with optical sights, but it has an undeniable advantage: since aiming is done with both eyes, it is very safe, the field of view is unrestricted and there is no risk of unintentionally shooting people or animals that unexpectedly find themselves in the field of fire.
Eye protection accessories for shooting with air guns
Sight is the main sense used by shooters, and everyone should care about protecting their eyes. In some countries, the use of shooting glasses is required by law. Shooting goggles protect the eyes from damage from ricocheting bullets, being hit by brick chips or glass. The adjustable length of the temples allows the goggles to be adjusted for each wearer. They are equipped with a durable, clear glass lens made of clear acrylic glass, polycarbonate or other material that is shatterproof or shatterproof, effectively protecting the shooter's eyes.
Accessories for PCP airguns
A separate group of accessories is accessories for PCP airguns. In order to make full use of this type of airgun, for example, we need special charging kits.
