I have been shooting guns since before I was 12. I grew up on a farm and we hunted and fished out of necessity. The fundamentals were beat into my head for the 10 years. I recently moved to Southern Florida from Colorado and live on the water. I purchased a Benjamin Marauder 22 to thin out the iguanas. It was making me sick to the stomach seeing how many injured iguanas I found from people that should not be shooting. I'm a firm believer that you miss it completely or drop it where it stands. I'm facing challenges due to the close proximity of neighbors and very expensive boats all around. Yesterday I picked up a Hatsan Flashpup refurbished for $200 and I'm looking forward to trying it out. My ultimate goal is to get something 25-30 with selecting power adjustments.
