Since I have the day off I decided shooting was in order; given that this is the 4th of July. In setting up I was musing about when I started taking airguns seriously. That was a while ago now, but I do remember it well. So, in honor of that memory I put the PCP down, and pulled out the ones that started it all. These are the guns that taught me what airguns could do. What airguns are about. And in doing so I was pleasantly reminded that these beauties offer an "Independence" of their own. No compressors, or hand pumps required. So today I'll be putting these classics through their paces, plinking, and taking it easy. It's a good day to remember where it began...
