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.

Airgun Repairs & Servicing: A Temporary Pause (Because You Lot Keep Us Busy!)
Well, this is one of those “good problems” to have… but still a problem all the same.
Due to a massive influx of customers bringing their airguns in for servicing and repair, our workshop has been inundated. Quite literally, benches full, racks full, and the jobs piling up faster than we can sensibly clear them. To ensure every repair gets the attention it deserves, we’re temporarily pausing the intake of new service and repair jobs.

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.
