Being new to this sport, I was wondering if you had special names associated with the sport. After 3 days of shooting, I got a blister on my thumb from the barrel. Is this called a cock burn? ROF Laugh
Sorry I couldn't help myself as it seems you guys have a sense of humor.

Mr. Green

Why do you think Slavia uses KY on his airguns? Real men use Hoppes #9 Rolling Eyes

here i am.... "cock" burn has nothing to do with airgunning.
it's caused from how you "grip" your "barrel".

do you have a girlfriend?? she can help with this. Point & Laugh

Maybe "Hoppe's Simplex Type A" would be more of a clue? Faq-U

After three days of "shooting",I don't know about my thumb,but I'd probably have a blistered barrel for sure...... Shocked Razz Faq-U

So if I get Hoppe's #9 does that mean my barrel will fall off?? Laughing
Wouldn't want to stop by the clinic just to get my gun fixed...... EyesWideOpen
