I have been lurking around here for about a month. Learning every time I get on the fourms. (thank you). My wife bought me a airgun for Christmas, Benjamin Super Streak .22 cal. I was very surprised at the power this thing has. Haven't had a airgun in 30+ yrs. This is going to be a lot of fun, so much in fact I already have my second airgun. I picked up a Benjamin Trail NP .22cal. Looks the next thing on my list will be the GRT III. This is a whole new world with these airguns, .177 to . 50 cal. WOW
Just wanted to hi and thanks for all the great info.

Hey Bob. Welcome to GTA Forums. Glad you found us and joined our little family of airgun addicts. Lots of great members here and a TON of good info. Please look around the different Gates and be sure to check out the Library, Mall and stop in the chat room. There's some of us in there at all hours of the day and night.
Again welcome. Be sure to post often and post pictures of your airgun adventures. And nice set of Benji airguns you have started with also. My personal favorites.
Happy Shooting!!!!
Dave

Welcome Bob to the GTA!!! Might as well make your order for two of the trigger's, because once you use one the other gun will just be jealous from not getting shot as much.

Welcome to the GTA. Glad you decided to become a member. As you have noticed, there have been a lot of changes to air guns in the last 30 years. Have fun shooting your new AG's

Welcome Bob. I chose the recently chose the NP for my first a/g. Aside from a few minor issues I've been pretty happy with it. These guys have definately made the learning curve a lot smoother, they are very helpful. They have helped fuel a minor interest in a/g's into a full fledged (albeit under-funded) obsession.

Hey Bob, good to have you here.
Where are you in SoCal? We are putting together some group shoots (right now at my place in north San Diego county). Good place to see and shoot other guns for free!
If you're within reach, we can add you to the list!
