Hey GTA =, my name is Brad and I've recently caught the airgun bug. I've always had an interest in shooting, and airguns seem to be a convenient way to hone your skills. I'm looking forward to making my first airgun purchase, and am soaking up all the info I can.

Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."

Beware Brad- airgunning is extremely addictive. You can't say you haven't been warned.

I'm in the western burbs. Glad to see some local folks on here. Are there any local guys who meet to shoot or anything?
Thanks all for the kind welcomes! I'll try to keep my noob annoyances to a minimum:)

I have only met up with one guy but most of the other IL shooters are a bit further South. Im thinking about starting a thread about getting a shoot going in the IL fun shoot gate so keep your eyes peeled for that
