  • This was the maiden voyage for the Challenger Pro. It is about a 1/2 hour long of shooting different things at 50 yards as well as some serious paperwork. I tried several slug weights as well as pellets. Zan's Projectiles 41 grain HP with Dish Base was my choice by the end of the day. I measured the speed with them at 1009 fps when I got back home and wow....Powerful, accurate and affordable. Thank you for watching and if you like the content please subscribe.

    Nice grouping my friend! Those aliens and chalks never stood a chance.
    I shoot .22cal JSB Knockout slugs and haven't had any issues with them so far. But your AEA is really accurate, which makes it a better combination with the .25cal slugs despite the high wind 👍🏼 I have the same issue with high wind in my area. Cheers and keep those good videos coming 🤙🏼

    Very nice shooting I also have the pro in 25 cal it's been pretty accurate I just shoot slugs only 33 grain. So far hole on hole at 35 yards and under half inch at 50

    3 in a row in the same hole! Then the slugs were ripping through your little blue guy making it appear you were missing it, even though you were slinging them threw it!!!!! GOOD SHOOTING! I have pro .30 cal an the only thing I don't like is it's a tank!

    Great shooting. I have the AEA Challenger Pro in .22 and .25 cal. Looking for slugs for them (nothing too heavy, just want a little more energy and velocity). What size do you think might be good for them to start off with? I'm looking at NSA slugs. Any suggestions on brand/name?

    you know I've got two aea 50 caliber Bullpup rifles and they are really well made they are really accurate but the only downfall that I can come up with my guns are a little heavy and the triggers are not that good I don't understand why they build such a nice looking gun and put such a crappy trigger on them somebody needs to teach them how to make a trigger and they would have a really great gun I don't understand it and they tell me it doesn't really matter what caliber gun you get the triggers are not that good and that's a shame

    • @a.p.z.
      @a.p.z.  ปีที่แล้ว

      Well I've got two of the 50 cal Bullpup Challengers and I've got used to them too but the triggers are still crappy get used to it or not you think for a rifle that's made as well as they are they should have a decent trigger and they don't

      @@donwilson350 I agree but then I look at the money they charge. Not bad and actually very good price point. I don't know of any others I can pull out of the box for $800 and shoot the groups I do at all distances. This in itself raises the bar. 8 just hope they keep moving forward with their products. I've spent hundreds on ar triggers in the old days but would really like to see a trick trigger become available for these.

I don't know any other company that would do that. I don't know Bin other then me buying airguns and he's treated me very good so far and expect he will continue.
