Title: Hello / Introduction
Post by: aalbinger on February 12, 2025, 10:45:39 PM

My first hunting "gun" was a Benjamin .177 BB gun.  It was the BB gun my dad was given in the 1950's.  Pump as many times as you can, no safety valve.  :)  I still have that BB gun and a single shot .177 pellet gun that is a somewhat newer but probably still pre 1970's Benjamin/Sheridan branding.

My dad and I took it out on my birthday, drew a circle on a chunk of wood.  I shot, nearly hit the circle we made and then the BB came back and hit me about an inch above my eye.  Before my 2nd shot I got a pair of Tasco shooting glasses (Dad had an extra pair as we did lots of shooting sports with folks who showed up to the farm)  I was also given the "Don't tell your mother" speech.

Lots of other "shooting" experience over the last several decades.

I just ordered a Beeman 2017 and practically all of the furniture that Buck Rail sells for the 2027.
