Hello all, I'm new to the group and have enjoyed learning from you. I've been shooting PCP since 2011 with the same 22 cal. Benjamin Marauder. I filled it with air from a used scuba tank and loaded it with JSB pellets. Never had to repair anything and really enjoyed it. I recently purchased a FX Impact M3 Compact in 25 cal. and a little compressor and between my son, son-in-law, and grandson we have put just over 1200 pellets through it. My little back yard range has targets at 50, 100, and 150 yards shooting out of a window in my wife's upstairs quilting studio. She granted us a space of 12x5 feet for our adventures with the only restrictions being the use of moderators on the rifles. The best news is all of the boys are now hooked on PCP and multiple rifles have been purchased by them. I guess they assume the air will be free.

Welcome aboard. Great the family is involved. Love the part about "little shooting range out to 150 yds". Fantastic setup. Guys would kill for that. Enjoy.

Can't imagine your wife doesn't get a kick out of all those generations enjoying a hobby together, kind of a nice story. Welcome. WM

Welcome aboard to you & your progeny. Too sweet having a 150 yard range out the window. Green with envy (or maybe it's what I ate for lunch).

Welcome. I'm envious of the land you get to shoot on. All I want is a minimum of 50 yards and a 100 yard range to freely shoot at and I'd be a happy camper.

She loves that we are all up there giving each other a hard time. My 14 year old GS has a very good eye and pecks away at the little 1 inch spinner at 100 yards. His dad is a retired cop and rifle instructor and the conversation between the two was Dad-what your hold over, GS-about 4, Dad-we all know the elevation what's the windage hold over, GS-I don't understand, Dad-how many little marks, GS-I don't remember...everyone laughing at dad.

Yeah, suspect there's a method to the madness of "sharing" the 12x5 portion of her quilt studio, a good chuckle, for sure. WM

Welcome to the forums. Great looking range. Glad to hear you are enjoying your new hobby with the boys.
Sounds like your wife is a keeper! Very nice of her to let the boys shoot in her quilting room. Maybe a nice dinner for everyone to celebrate would make her even happier.
