Retired at 65, I'm now 72. Thank God I found airguns (PCP'S) shortly after! Something to sink my teeth into besides music. Doubt I'll ever retire from either of those 2 passions til I croak.

Retired members here?
- Thread starter bustachip
- Start date
Officially I retired November 1, 2019. My last work day was two weeks earlier, they let me use a little of the vacation I had coming. Over 40 years with the employer I selected when I graduated college in 1979. Fortunately for me they had a pension until the last couple years and that is providing me a nice retirement income.
I bought my first PCP in the spring of 2020. I have owned a Blue Streak for more like 50 years but it isn't nearly as much fun to shoot as my PCPs. It's a fun new hobby for retirement. My degree is in engineering and I enjoy figuring them out.

Retired at the end of 2017 followed by 3 years part time, then got out of prison. They called me back by phone and told them NO! Missourah is the lowest paying state for corrections, ditto for retirement. So I do my "Warden's bidding" each day at home. Do some Meals On Wheels deliveries, Church, and other stuff. I fling pellets in between that stuff. Be Well and God Bless you public service and military folks, Bandito

I have done almost all the laundry since about 1993, smoke some meat for the week, and do a lot of the pet chores. Gives her energy for date nights. A wise man taught me that long ago. We have been married 53 years. Retirement gets us together a lot more. Be Well, dito.

Retired in 2002 and shortly open a air gun shop and was a Beeman dealer along with others. Mostly a try state customer purchasers. Did sell a number of QB78 power modified rifles. Was more fun than a money making adventure, but met a nice bunch of people! Now I’ve have accumulated about 80 air guns and enjoy shooting some almost daily! Charles

been retired 8 years. Nothing better.I'm assuming the majority of members here are retired. Or if I'm wrong what is a good guess on the percentage of retired airguners?
Just guessing by reading a lot of the posts on when people are shooting or out farting around during the day..lol.
Hopefully I'll get there one day and join in on the
fun.
