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.
