Greetings everyone. New-ish member here, but longtime airgunner. Got my first airgun in 1985, a Crossman 766 American Classic, that I still have in working shape. Then a "few" years off until I got a AirForce Talon SS in 2001. Was quite active on the old "yellow forum" and Talon Owners Group as I did lots of plinking and tweaking on it. Still have and shoot it too. I was then busy playing in the sandboxes for a few years, but picked up a P-rod after I retired in 2010 having had fond memories of a Crossman 1377 I had for a while. The P-rod is my favorite fun/grab and go gun, however.... Last year I purchased a Marauder Semi...which then started a bad itch for new guns...AirArms S510SX, Benjamin Bulldog, FX Impact M3, then finally an AirForce Texan LSS CF .50. Luckily I've got the land to shoot them all, but had to buy a compressor to feed them with no local place for 4500psi.

Anyway, I live up in the Black Forest of Colorado Springs and happy to link up with fellow shooters. I've had few over to shoot and always enjoy sharing lessons-learned and BS-ing.


I'm also into all things RC, with a focus on racing quads and First Person View (FPV) flying. Be great to meet local flyers (and provide a wooded space to fly quads for those that live in the city).

Thanks for reading,
Sean

Yes! Lots of powder burner folks (myself included) around here, but surprised how few also knew about adult airguns.

Keith, you as well.

Both of you should call Travis at https://airgun-outdoors.com/ He's up/down in Parker. We all get together on the first Saturday @9a every month at his retail store.
