Title: Hello!
Post by: Xtrafries on April 14, 2024, 04:27:24 PM
Hi everyone!

My name is George and I'm gaining interest in pellet guns again as a 50 year old. I had my first Daisy when I was 6. I don't recall the model but it looked like a child-size multi-pump. My father had a beautiful Sheridan. It was significantly heavier with a much louder report. We shot a lot in the backyard. Mostly paper targets although he would go after squirrels on occasion.

My favorite times would be shooting at plasticware stuck in old logs when we went camping. He always made sure I picked up every remnant of trash and that we leave the site cleaner than when we arrived. I was 9 when my parents divorced and the areas we moved to did not have much space for bb gun shooting so it all fell by the wayside.

I do have a tremor so I tend to avoid hobbies that require fine motor skills, but I've found that I'm happy enough to go plinking utilizing anything as a rest or brace. I'm amazed at the different options available today for all kinds of budgets.

It's exciting to know there are so many airgun enthusiasts out there!
