I joined the .20 Benjamin/Crosman Clan

[PasadenaMike]

Since I don’t have the gun yet I can’t tell you exactly anything but it’s a .20 with a beautiful wood stock and a peep sight. Got it from a member:) I just ordered some .20 JSB 13 some odd grain pellets. I’ve wanted a wood version a while

C9a

Thanks Frank.

Great choice!  It should hurl JSB and- if you spend the coin- Polymags with authority.  The latter are especially effective for pesting.

Be sure to start working out with weights to increase your upper body strength.

First off, pumping them is exercise,  isn't it?
And then,  there is bench rest shooting 

[PasadenaMike]

No plinking here just shooting ground squirrels

Congrats Mike...
One thing I learned early about the Sheridan type pumpers that alot of owners will agree... you don't need 8 pumps for every shot. Matter of fact, most of us rarely pump more than 5.
Enjoy.

So, last month I bought one of the GARMIN chronographs and checked all the arms.
These numbers are from my C9a.
As Bill said, not much need to go beyond 6 pumps.
Especially at 78:

    Congrats OP…I dont kill chit…only paper and cans…so none of mine go past 4…even out to 30 yards…the 13xx carbines ?… may see 6 just for the distance….good luck

I do the full 8 pumps on my Blue Streak once in a blue moon.  5 pumps is the normal max, and 4 thwaps a squirrel into The Big Sleep out to 35 yards.  I use 3 for plinking and chasing cans, though Sonja like the extra smack of 6 pumps when we're shooting at out "target cymbal" about 45 yards away. 

A final note: 1 or 2 pumps before you put it away.

Especially for a 78 year old screw sans prostate!

[PasadenaMike]

Here she is . She’s a 2011 according to Crosman.

[brewbear]

Congrats Mike! She's a beauty!

Thank you!! I  swore all I was going to shoot were PCPs but I’m glad I went to my roots a bit.
