"hynzie"I'm so hooked on this airgun thing it's not even silly I never thought I would find a hobby or sport then totally consumed me like this sunbelievable to say the least and these raw rifles they just put me over the top I feel like we should hold a banquet and bring all of our raw rifles and display them that's how freaked out I am about these but I'm loving every minute of it airgun Nation number one pat

I've been involved in the shooting arts almost all of my life. (I got a 20 gauge shotgun for my 12th birthday!) It has never gotten old. I hunt almost every day (at least I did until I sold my Impact to buy my RAW). There is so much to engage me intellectually and spiritually: The physics of ballistics and compressed air; the skill of hunting (i.e., game recognition, anatomy, stalking, field dressing, game cleaning, butchering, cooking, EATING!); outdoor survival skills; the fresh air and exercise (which I definitely need!); etc., etc., etc.) Plus, the beauty, workmanship, and technical complexity of the rifles themselves are very gratifying. 

I have discovered a whole new world of shooting with air guns. It really has been only relatively recently that airgun technology has advanced to the point where it rivals firearms in many ways. And, in my opinion, high-end rifles such as the RAW HMx .357 (130 ft-lbf regulated) are actually superior to PBs for small game. The power, accuracy, and range is commensurate to the .22lr rimfire rifle, and the stealth factor puts airguns over the top performance-wise. Plus, the availability of ammo is not an issue like it is with firearms. The initial cost to get up to speed is salty, but very affordable long-term. Airguns, let me sing thy praises!

I wasn't into airguns except that I had a .177 Gamo for striped squirrels then this February I was wanting to shoot and was searching the web and cam across a air gun add and followed it to GTA then I found this site and it's been all down hill, I can now shoot in my home without the powder smell and I can do it with the family home...went from a Gamo to a RAW in 5 months and added tanks and a compressor with 2 hand pumps...I dare for someone to say that it's not a addictive hobby/sport..

I've seen drug addictions progress slower than my addiction to airguns! I went from a Umarex Colt Peacemaker .177 CO2 pistol (1.86 ft-lbf) to a RAW HMx .357 (130 ft-lbf regulated) PCP in less than a year!

"Imold"Now I sit and wait for Sandra to send me a copy of the purchase order so I can review it and make any changes if need be.

You'll be waitin' awhile. I'm still waiting for the corrected version of my Confirmation Order that she promised two days ago. It doesn't bother me that it's taking so long per se; it's that she expressly PROMISED to email it to me on Tuesday afternoon. This is not the first time this dynamic has happened. Please people, don't make promises you can't keep.

That's not my point. I'm trying to make the distinction between the substantive content of a promise and the concept of a promise per se. Besides, eventually an unkept promise does become deleterious. I'm at the point where I need to make actual payment and I need valid evidence of obligation.

I hear what your saying,she said it would be a couple days (but I won't hold her to it understanding they are busy )for my confirmation on the order and I too would like to pay off my obligation sooner then later after all it still needs to be paid for before they send it out and if it's paid in advance it wount sit in there shop for a extra week or whatever it takes for them to process the payment.

I need to put a well,septic and power on the property still and I would like to put a couple lights on the left side of the shooting range so I can shoot airguns after dark,have a couple nice dual flood lights that will work,set one up by the 25 yard target and another by the 75 yard target and they should be enough to light up my small range, I need to get ahold of the power company and see how far they will run the line. I know they will run the main line to the meter but not sure if they will set a few poles pack to my camper area( where I'll build my home ),think I need 3 poles and then I'll put a 200amp service next to the last pole with the meter......I'm going to ask if they will bury the line instead,it needs to run about 584 feet from road to meter..
How cool would a lit up shooting range be, I'll find all kinds of friends I didn't know I had hahaha......

You have a still on your property?! Wow, you'd fit right in in my family! Just yankin' your chain; I know what you mean :).

Man, you're making me jealous. That shooting range set-up sounds sweet. What, no 100 yard target? You're getting a .357, for Pete's sake!

Yeah, when my old man put an in-ground swimming pool in the back yard, I suddenly had no problem getting a girlfriend. Go figure!
