  • Mike Avery’s outdoor radio show is a great way to learn about hunting and fishing from experts. Mainly a Michigan show but I would recommend it to anyone interested in the outdoors! And the best part of the show is the last segment with Chef Dixie Dave!!

Q: How do high-performance air guns differ from traditional firearms in terms of legality and operation?
Tom explained there is no background check required for air guns, that many use precharged pneumatics with high-pressure reservoirs, and that moderators can quiet the guns further; they are intended for sport shooting and hunting at shorter ranges, with specific calibers and power setups.

Q: What makes Angler Quest's new quad-tube layout different from traditional pontoons?
