Hello everybody. Thank you for having me on your great forum. I am relatively new to air rifles and hunting, bug bit me a couple of weeks ago. I'm having a good time with the new sport, and can't wait to acquire more guns. My current setup is a Crosman Optimus .177 with a GRT-III on the way, as well as a Leapers 3-9x40 scope. I can't wait to get out there and lay waste to the pests, and maybe snack on a few rabbits and squirrels along the way. Even though I'm a Michigan boy, I am a new hunter....been a fisherman the previous 30 years. Great site here!

Welcome Bob, very nice to have you with us. Don't forget to post the hunt stories and pics of those rabbits and nutters that you will be chasing. The "Hunting Gate" members just love hunting stories and pics". I'll be looking forward to your future posts.

Bob, we are glad you are joining us. Take the learning curve (learning to hunt) sort of slow like. It isn't as easy as going out in the woods and shooting stuff. And GOOD LUCK!

Welcome to the GTA, Bob. With the GRT trigger you're obviously headed in the right direction. I think you'll feel right at home.
