Vector Air Blog
This isn’t just a blog. It’s where proper guidance, no-nonsense advice, and the occasional opinionated rant come together.
Below you’ll find our featured posts—the ones that tend to get shared, bookmarked, and actually read. After that, dive into the full blog where you can filter by category or just keep scrolling to see everything we’ve got.
From practical how-tos to Behind the Barrel deep dives, it’s all here. No fluff, no filler—just the kind of content we’d want to read ourselves.

DNT Optics Update – Zulus V2 LRF Has Landed!
Clearance & New Thermal Alert! The last DNT Zulus Mk1 scopes are now reduced to clear — once they’re gone, that’s it. Still supported by DNT, they’re a smart pick if you don’t need the latest upgrades. Plus, the impressive HYDRA HS225 thermal scope/spotter has arrived, with future QD mount compatibility to run as an in-front clip-on. We’ve tested it — and yes, it’s every bit as versatile as it sounds

June Staff Picks: Chaos, Compressors & Customisation
June’s been mad. Between Luke becoming a dad (congrats, ya softie), becoming Nottinghamshire’s exclusive retailer for the new Theoben brand, scoping out new premises, and trialling our local delivery service—it’s been non-stop. But out of the chaos, comes clarity… or at least, a handful of things we’re really into this month. Some are fresh. Some are old favourites. All of them deserve a proper look.

Move Over PR900 – The UX ICONIX Is Gunning for the Crown of Budget PCPs
A sub-£200 PCP that doesn’t suck? That’s the real innovation. The UMAREX ICONIX isn’t just another rifle—it’s a gateway for new shooters, especially juniors priced out of the PCP world. It’s how the sport grows and sheds its “old man’s hobby” label. Should it win Airgun of the Year? Absolutely. Will it? Probably not—because innovation rarely wins when back-pats and brand loyalty run the show. But make no mistake, the ICONIX is changing the game.
