Mellow greetings @Vicente_M_Costa and welcome to the forum. You will have fun rediscovering your love for shooting air guns. Today you have so many choices it will be difficult to choose. Don't get in a hurry to buy the first thing that looks good until you learn more.

Be well,

Feinwerk

Hello everyone!

I am new to the forums. As a kid I used to shoot a lot with my grandfather with a springer airgun but after years of not practicing I want to reengage again. I hope to learn a lot from you.

Greetings from Spain

Welcome to the group Vincent!

Its great that you are rediscovering your youth! If you do as I did, I bought all the guns I had as a kid, then all the guns I wanted as a kid & now the stuff I could have only dreamed off. Airgunning can be an incredibly deep & rich experience. To get the most of it you have to get invovled with like minded people. This forum is a great starting point. Engage in discussion, ask questions & participate in some of the online target shooting challenges. But it isnt enough, seek others in Spain, airgunning clubs, WFTF matches etc. The sky (and your wallet) is the limit.

@Vicente_M_Costa - Hello and welcome to AGN. Great place with tons of information. I recommend a hand pump friendly PCP to start with. Something like a pistol or carbine with a small reservoir. The Umarex Notos or the Benjamin Prod are great examples to start with. Which ever model is chosen, make sure you get quality pellets! Go with a .22 model if possible. .22 pellets go from 13 grains all the way to 34 grains. Probably the most common caliber. Watch some youtube videos and see what the reviewers use / recommend for each model and the try a few tins first.

Have fun, the PCP rabbit hole is a great ride.

Yogi_Rides, thanks for the advice. I have several friends who have PCP airguns and I have been able to shoot a little lately. I still like it as much or more than I did when I was a kid. The truth is that nowadays there are guns and all kinds of incredible accessories. I'll have to be careful and not abuse my credit card.
