I just started and the wife told me I'm getting out of hand. Four weeks into the hobby and I have 3 pistols, and 2 rifles ;)

Crosman Storm XT
Crosman Titan GP
Crosman 357
Crosman 38t
Crosman 1377

Is there an AA for airgunners? :D

... the wife feels your pain when your only air rifle breaks it's mainspring and she actually says, "Time for the Beeman R7 you were looking at?"

I opted for the Diana 34 Compact instead. ;)

Post by: RedFeather on July 14, 2010, 12:04:02 AM
You buy an air rifle and, while making yet more room in the safe, haul out the exact same gun you forgot you had.

You have no window screens.  Not because you're poor but so you can shoot out the window.

You've got more bookmarked air gun sites than you have books in the house.

You have more than one scar, puncture hole, damaged wall, etc, from your "air gunning fun".

You won't buy an expensive six pack of imported beer but will happily drop $20 on a tin of pellets.

You brag that air gunning is a cheap hobby, and you believe it.

Post by: davevabch on July 16, 2010, 02:57:50 PM
You are hesitant to buy a New Marauder, because you are very much aware that PCP  is a very addictive drug. It is bad enough that you are hooked into Springers. But you know that going to PCP could take you into the Dark Side. Besides, how would you tell your family that all the new scuba equipment is for your air rifles. You could very well have intervention and be committed.

What are its long-term effects?

PCP: PCP is addicting; that is, its use often leads to psychological dependence, craving, and compulsive PCP-seeking behavior.

People who use PCP for long periods report memory loss, difficulties with speech and thinking, depression, and weight loss. These symptoms can persist up to a year after cessation of PCP use. Mood disorders also have been reported.
