Welcome to the best AGN
(remember head shots only ) what size turtles ?

 

[JimD]

Welcome. I am a year younger and didn't buy my first PCP until I retired in 2020. I am up to 6 now. All easily capable of hitting a turtle in the head if I do my part. The 177 even took a large one at about 25 yards with a clean head shot. I had a Sheridan blue streak growing up and still have it but PCPs are lots more fun. Once you get a compressor, no pumping. Even when I hand pumped doing it in one session and then getting 20-50 shots until it needed recharged was better. Pellets are poor ballistically and thus very wind sensitive but they can be very accurate.

Welcome, and I'm 68 so stop calling us old!

 

[Bandito]

Welcome. I'm 50 with 22 years' experience. When you get older the age of OLD gets higher. 80 looks old to me now but in four or five years 85 or 90 will look old. Be Well, Bandito.
