   Hello, my name is Ed, and I am 79 almost 80 years old! My first use of airs guns was longer ago than I can remember! My older brothers had the old Red Rider bb gun, so I grew up shooting Dasey bb guns!
   I joined the USMC, after high school, at 17 years of age and another Marine and I bought 2 crosman 22 caliber pump pistols! They were great guns. We used them on Camp Pendleton, killing many rabbits, 🐍 snakes and ground squirrels,
   After the Marines, I got more into real, higher caliber stuff and airguns lost interest and favor until about 15 years ago when my wife and I were hitting yard sales and ran across a break barrel 177 cal. Chinese made rifle, I don't know the brand name but it was a good accurate and hard shooting rifle!  I killed lots of targets and my Grandson killed several 🐇 rabbits using it.
   Now at almost 80 years of age I have bought a new Crosman, 177 cal 1077fo plinking in doors!
