Title: Hey yall
Post by: hafontenot on November 06, 2011, 09:09:20 PM
I am new to air rifles, and just purchased a Beeman RS2 from a little known store called WalMart LOL. I have been reading info on this site for quite a few weeks and have found it to be extremely helpful. I have already posted a question in one of the forums, and I am sure I will get some excellent advice.
I really like how the members and moderators keep the threads running in a very helpful,fun,respectful,and productive manner. It is nice to see that there are still decent human beings posting helpful information on the internet and not just people trolling boards looking for a way to insult people. Thanks for the great forum.

Welcome to the GTA! Going to target shoot or hunt?

A little of both. My sons and I enjoy target shooting, but the majority of the time we will probably be taking care of various pests on our small farm. In fact I am currently at war with several rabbits that have eaten half of our small cabbage patch!

Welcome to the GTA !!! Hope you enjoy.
Are ya, by chance, relation to a MLB infielder, "Mikey" ?

No relation. Around here my last name is as common as Smith. Thanks for the welcome guys. I look forward to posting pics of my hunts. Still just target shooting. I am getting more comfortable with the rifle all the time. I never realized that target shooting could be so fun! Not to mention much cheaper than shooting my other guns/rifles.
