How big is Airgun Nation?

[lennyk]

kudos to those who keep this forum going,

I am a long time forum user since the days of usenet when the internet was text only and it is certainly a task to maintain a community with the type of characters we have these days.

600,000 airgunners, now I know why I cant find any pellets in stock.

That 12 million figure is over thee life of the forum. 200-300k views monthly ...



The 600,000 users is another inflated number. That is total, and not current or active...



Active membership comparable to the disparity between the TOTAL page views in the life of the site versus MONTHLY page views.......



Seriously be real. Stop it Michael.



Theres tik tok videos that get more views in a week than this site has over its entire existence. Tooting your own horn in a clown car I see.

You seem nice.

I joined this site hoping to obtain information on airguns. I wanted to get a pcp becuase I've discovered my recent puchase of a break barrel is too much for me (I am 65) with my bad shoulders its too hard for me to cock it. I was hoping to sell it so I can purchase a pcp but I haven't figured out how to do that here. I will continue to keep reading posts though cause I need info. Glad sites like this can even exist today!

Hating is like drinking poison and wishing someone else would die ...

I think I get this statement. We are all air rifle lovers and what we share means something to all of us; I like reading about air guns I don't have or never tried for myself. I report airguns I like and why. We are all together in our main interest to see air power accuracy and longevity.



Now I have to start another topic for us!

Kindly,

Ted, youre a good man. You made the right choice for the right reasons...You can always pursue again down the road when your daughter is grown and living her life. The life that you helped create.

Definitely enjoyed the history lesson, and having had similar experiences moderating myself, I'm thankful for those who do it.

I enjoy browsing AGN and sometimes tossing in my two pennies. It is clearly the best place for an airgun enthusiast to hang-out while on-line.

I ghosted AGN for months prior to purchasing a Gauntlet .25 ... Haji's mods accomplished ... then moved on to a RAW HM1000X .25 in 2018.

Planned to find a great range and dial in things but was surprised at how many places ... this in Dallas/FW area don't allow air rifles.

I recently joined a club range ... pistols ... and they allow .22LR/WMR but not air rifles.

So the guns have been languishing in the safe ... will be selling them to offset the purchase of a match 22 ... am a bit disappointed as I love the

simplicity and directness of air rifles ...

Should add that this site is a treasure for information about air rifles and will continue to search it for information about stuff I can use at the "club"

Sad to hear that. Maybe you can link up with some other Texans here. They may have their own land. Or you could ask some farmers in the area.

Wealth of information, good advice, and Deals! 

Thank you!

 

[airimpact1550]

New to forum. Thanks for the information. 

 

[mattbotak]

I really appreciate a resource like this for the airgun hobby. The technological advances from the 80's when had a Weihrauch HW35E springer are nothing short of amazing.

 

[Cyllwynn]

Amazing.

Sad but true here in DFW although acceptance is becoming more wide spread with the local HFT club having regular sessions. Ive always been a bit of a Ted's Holdover fanboy just because he always had such good info. Now that Ive rejoined after many years, glad that Michael has taken up the reigns. 



One thing I can can relate to is the time with family is finite and often placed just behind jobs. Like Ted, I plan on walking away from my full-time gig in about 4 months, 25 days (but who's counting?) So, respect to Ted, thanks to Michael and looking forward to getting back into what started off as an every day, summer childhood hobby (my 69 Silver Streak) and hopefully passing it to my grandkids.

Thanks Ted and Michael for all that you do and have done to help make this forum what it means to those of us that love this sport. I'm very sure that every question that has ever been ask concerning airguns have been answered here at one time or another from curious minds. As a member of the "Old" Yellow Forum, I'm grateful for Ted and Michael for keeping this forum up and running for as long as it has. I'm hopeful that this forum will continue to grow for the little kid that still lives in most of us that still enjoy "BB guns".
