I live in central Illinois and have been shooting Daisy 880s since I was young, pest birds mainly, on our family farm. I wish I knew to not shoot BBs through these guns then, but pellets were to expensive for us poor farmers. I still have my original 880 but it shoots terribly so I had to buy anther 880 a few years back, I only shoot pellets through it and man is it accurate! I recently found a Daisy 917 at a yard sell for $5! I have parts ordered for it on Ebay from Ronno6 to get it back to shooting, time will tell how well it shoots. I just realized he is an active member on the forum. I am modding my current 880 and looking to buy a 901, although I can't find one in any of the surrounding stores that sell air rifles. I called Daisy to order one and they informed me they can not ship to Illinois. Unbelievable!
I look forward to the forum and what I can learn from the people here.

Clinton Lake is great! I hunt squirrels and bow hunt deer there, it's extremely hard to get permission around here now on private land.
