Quality spring piston airguns are so great and really help with follow thru and hold for your powder burner shooting. Your shooting will improve with your PB by shooting a springer. I am getting into these spring guns and am having a great time with them. I own 28 pcp air guns and have found myself grabbing a springer for plinking and pesting. Either or get what you really want, make a good investment that will satisfy your needs and wants. I personally feel that your first airgun should be a quality gun to keep you interested in air gunning. With a gun that gives you poor accuracy a person can get discouraged or purchase another lower end gun then another. When he could have just bought a quality gun to start with. Dang wish I would have taken my own advise!!!! lol Speaking from experience get a good gun to start with. There are many on the GTA classifieds, nice tuned springers and great pcp guns. People on this forum really help one another out. Take into consideration that with a pcp you will always have to fill her, with a pump you get good exercise and make your shots count. With a bottle you go thru a lot of ammo. With a spinger you get one gorilla arm. lol Best of Luck Brother Man.
