I recently got back into the airgun hobby, probably due to my son mostly. I used them all summer as I was growing up, but somehow got away. A few years ago, when my son was 9 or so, I bought a little Crosman CO2 powered semi-auto BB slinger that we could plink with. That was fun, but it broke pretty quick. Then I discovered the full-auto BB-slingers about May of 2021. I then bought a Crosman 2240 a month or so later, and it was all over after that. I started modding that gun over, and over, and over trying to get to the 75 yards or so that would become my shooting range behind my home office. In August of 2021, I bought an Avenger from Utah Airguns while nearby on business and learned about the RMAC. My son and I competed in the Sportsman's Class at the RMAC in June of 2022, having a great time and learning a TON. What a great community!!
Shoot safe and straight!
