I have reached the age where high powered shooting becomes more challenging. I have been reloading and shooting center fire firearms for more than 60 years. So now it's time to pass all that on to my grandson's and pick up something less aggressive, hence air guns. I have the Benjamin Kratos (22) and the Aveng X (25) and total amazed at the accuracy. They sure are not like the first BB gun I got at an early age. I like this new hobby:)
So, just learning and looking forward to the experience.

These new guns ain't nothin like the bb guns of years ago (though those are still fun too). The Kratos is a good gun for the money with a nice stock and lots of shots!
