Hello all. I am joining this forum after having read a fair amount of helpful information. When I was younger, I learned basic handling, safety and shooting from my father who choose to use airguns as a teaching tools (if I recall correctly there was a Daisy Powerline multi-pump pneumatic and break barrel Marksman Biathlon Trainer Pellet Rifle). I enjoyed target practice for years in the backyard.
Last year, a relative of mine who enjoys shooting air guns and was kind enough to let me try shooting an .22 springer air gun (cannot recall details yet), this rekindled my interest in airguns. And now that I have my own family and a backyard, I found myself returning to the hobby to help teach my sons and enjoy target shooting once again.
Last summer started with a Crosman 760 Pumpmaster .177 from a major retailer to learn and share basics and safety with sons. Unfortunately (or in retrospect it was fortunate), that did not last long due to quality issues, so it was returned. Researched more and ended up with a Weihrauch HW30S Deluxe.177 to replace it. Much better! Tried a Gamo Swarm Fusion 10X GEN3i .177 caliber but found it was not a good fit for my situation. While looking for a better multi pump, picked up a Seneca Dragonfly Mk2 .177 caliber. This summer, I acquired an Air Venturi Avenger Regulated PCP .177 as an entry into a PCP models.
Much to learn and appreciating folks here share their knowledge and experiences here.
