Title: Poll: Airgun Compressor Use
Post by: JB-Umarex on September 20, 2022, 03:07:55 PM
Also, Do you consider yourself a casual PCP airgun shooter, weekend shooter, or all-the-time shooter?

didnt vote... I fill my tank, then use the tank to fill the guns back up.

I dont fill the gun directly from the compressor (shoebox)

Thank you, dan_house. I'm curious as to the results after a number of days and suspect there are many here that fill from a tank.

I've been hand pumping since the first fx pumps came out. That will probably change as I get older.

I hand pumped my marauder daily for 3 years till I got the shoebox setup. It was my only pcp at the time, so it wasnt that bad. and Id pump AFTER that session, so my heart rate wasnt up. Just put the gun on the rack and go about my day. Itd be full when I got bak to it. Only time it got to be a pain or a chore was if it was completely empty.

I not exactly sure how many PCPs I own at the moment. Somewhere between 7 and 10 I would guess. I'm a big guy at 6'1 and 250 pounds, so hand pumps have always worked well for me.

 Only gun I typically fill from a compressor is the Piledriver, but I do top off bottles and tanks on a monthly basis on average.

Cant really submit a number here cause I fill a tank.  If I just used the compressor to fill guns I would use it countless times.  Filling a tank, my compressor gets used once every few months

I can't vote either, but I will add that once I buy a compressor I will more than likely direct fill my guns because I rarely shoot anywhere but home.

I voted 0-4 because I fill from my tanks also.
I top off my tanks at least once a month.

I fill directly and top off tanks. 21+ for me as I live on a farm and shoot pests almost every day!

I use a Yong Heng to fill 2 CF tanks. 1 is a 30min and 1 is a 60min.
When I'm at the bench I just use the Orcair 12v/110v portable to fill guns directly.
I have a Vevor (Yong Heng knockoff) in the bar/mancave for filling guns directly.

I fit in the 0-4 range.
 While I do fill my PCP guns direct, my springers get shot the most. Too easy to grab the gun and a tin of pellets and go shoot at an opportune moments notice.
If I now it's going to be a longer shooting session I will fire up the compressor and air up a PCP.
