Hey all,
Just joining here, but I've been snooping around the forums for a long time. I'm somewhat new to PCP's, but have fallen in love with them. I've had many barrel breaks and pumpers over the years, but taking my first dive into PCP's was a game changer for me.
As far PCP's go, I have a few that are all in the lower price range, all sub $500. Out of the current ones my Notos, which was also the cheapest of all, tends to be my go to for backyard fun. Light, accurate, and great feel for the price. I am looking at diving into the higher tier guns, but so undecided which way to go, when I do. Also the more I research the more deeper the rabbit hole goes! lol.
I am thinking I want to focus on getting some better optics before focusing on another gun. I also have 2 guns that currently need and don't have any optics, plus a 3rd that has a reflex sight that I can't stand, so that's also the driving force behind my thought process. Most of my youth shooting and up until now has been with iron sights, so don't have much in knowledge or spares around to try in the optics department. Most of my shooting is within 50 yards, with a lot of night/low light shooting these days. Either plinking or pesting at night.
My current setup is a cheap Amazon compressor. It works well and fits my needs so far, without any hiccups. Granted the biggest reservoir of my current guns is only 350cc, so that may change when I get or convert something to higher capacity.
Really hope to gain some of the great wisdom and advice everyone here has to offer and hopefully I can help some out along the way too. Sorry for the long winded and all over the place introduction.
