Hello all
My name is mike I am 38 years OLD. I have four kids and an amazing wife. I have been shooting airguns on and off since I was around 13. I can remember sighting in the scope of my 880 in my moms basement using a pellet as a target. Shooting pellets with pellets at that young age I believe has made me the best shot in my friend group to this day! As I grew older I met friends that were into airguns and I bought my first benji. .22 cal and I remember thinking how slow the pellet seemed to come out. It wasn’t till my first bird or squirrel with the .22 when I realized the power of heavy pellets! I ended leaving that first benji in the yard (rip) and then ended up buying another. It was a 392pa which I still have to this day. No one ever told me to leave a pump or two in it while In storage so just recently I’ve rebuilt it and handed it down to my oldest! He has two doves under his belt and a ton of bullseyes! I got my seven year old a umarex co2 and he’s a shooting machine! Before my father died he had gifted every one of my kids, and friends kids with a red Ryder for their first birthday! I have a few other airguns like a benji trail xl and a few vintage guns. Most recently I bought a gen1 marauder off of Craigslist and this is why I’m finally registering because it has issues and I have questions I know you guys can help with. And I really appreciate that! I’m a finish carpenter who takes pride in his work and I live near central Ohio. Thanks for reading have a great day!
