I'm new to airguns and are looking for my first airgun any suggestions
New to PCP
- Thread starter hawkd19
- Start date
Welcome to forum, glad you're here. Fairly common question, best to state intended use and budget. First question is springer (break-barrel) or pre-charged pneumatic (PCP.) Matt Dubber's YouTube series, "Airgun Ballistics, 101," was a big help when I started. Nine short, easy to follow videos can help determine preferences. Best of Luck, WM

You know you...right ?
Do some visual homework in the couple of on-line sales (Airguns of Arizona and Utah Airguns are two). There are a few other good ones. use Google to find others.
Pick out two or three guns (rifles / pistols) that you think you'll like.
Then do some more homework reading on-line "reviews". Then do some more homework, and do some YouTube watching. Don't watch just one or two on your chosen gun. Watch all that you can find, to get varied information.
Then use the "search" function here on Airgun Nation, and do MORE...reading.
We all were in your shoes at one time. I went for a somewhat high end (or dollar !) rifle for my first. Still have it, 5+ years later.
Have fun.

Your question is too vague & overly broad to answer. If you REALLY want helpful & relevant answers you need to supply likewise information. The options in airguns have exploded in the past few years. It can get confusing & overwhelming. If you'd state your location (laws differ), budget, intended use, where you're going to be shooting, etc. it will get you more accurate & relevant replies. So, help us out & we'll try to do the same & WELCOME to AGN!

Welcome to AGN. The rabbit hole is deep and the learning curve is sharp but it is all worth it.

This is beyond a rabbit hole! A few years ago, I needed something to deal with a squirrel infestation in my attic. Quick, cheap solution was a Daisy 880 from Walmart. It performed the job well. I should've stopped there but these forums!
