I just want you guys to know that I gave this desease to a very old friend of mine I have known for years, we knew each other but I would not say we were very close but friends anyway, now I find we are becoming closer friends maybe because I feel guilty about giving him this desease. I have surely ruined him at the least, he is a gunsmith and when I say that I mean a true gunsmith not a wanta be but he has the equipment to practically build most anything he needs or wants, the man even has a blueing vat and a way to parkerize parts, he is a new member here, his handle is nc packrat1 and I hope he forgives me for what I have done to him, lol!!! I don't think he has found out it is uncurable yet and that one is not enough. How many fellow members have did this to there friends??? Thanks David

I working on it right now, my friend hasn't bought his first one yet. I took him out back and had him shoot one of my rifles a while back. When he comes by now it's "I was on that PA websight , there is a couple that are really cool, let me show this one I found on there this morning"
It is only a matter of time for him I think. He seems most intrigued with the Crosman custom shop page, where you can build your own and see what it will look like .
Hard to imagine I am sure, but this is not the first time I can be accused of being a "Bad Influence", or the last .

Let a friend of mine shoot my mrod. now every time i go over there, it's "you bring your gun?" or "don't forget to bring that gun." He will succumb to the power of the Darkside. just as soon as he can afford it.

That's funny David. It probably didn't take too much encouragement if he is a gunsmith. I've got some of my friends interested in airguns but none of them have the disease like I do. Addiction is a terrible thing...........

First off, Welcome to the family Mr. Ernie. Its been a pleasure getting to know you in the chat room. And to answer David's question, most of my friends see what it has done to me and steer clear. But a few have shown a mild passing interest. But I did try to recruit some "already striken with the disease" friends from the Bayou Airgun Club, to check out our family here at the GTA. As deep into AGs as these guys are, I was amazed that none of them had ever heard of this great site.

Welcome to the AirGun World and the GTA Forums Ernie !
I have had one or two airguns all of my 60 years, but it wasn't until I joined the GTA that the addiction hit me. I believe that the GTA is the carrier of this addiction, with all of the pretty airguns photos being posted here, and the accounts of shooters and hunters alike.
Now I have more airguns than I can shoot, and desires of purchasing more, who cudda thunk it !
But I'm sure you will enjoy this GREAT Sport/Hobby, and when you get the shakes, you'll now it's time to start looking, or buying a new shooter ! This seems to stop the shakes,,, for awile
I hope to see you around !
Bill
