My first and biggest mistake was buying my first Airgun. The portal it opened into the rabbit hole has cost me a Lot of money! I’m not sure that getting into drugs may not have been cheaper.

What are some of your airgun rookie mistakes that you learned from? For example, I learned that you get what you pay for. If you are into quality, then don't get the gun that comes in a box on isle 7 next to the gym shorts at Big Five and put a $20 scope on it expecting it to last. I also learned that stores like Wallymart, Big 5, etc. do not sell a high quality ammo and that my cheap airgun with cheap ammo explains a lot about why I made those lousy groups and missed shots on pests. It would be both fun and educamational to read some of your experiences from when you were a newbie.
Shooting, owning, and maintaining air guns is not the same thing as regular firearms. The terminology, parts, procedures, and techniques are much different. The first thing to do is to read as many articles, books, and magazines as possible to get up to speed. Then watch YouTube videos to answer any questions you have after your research. Then find a local club or group of air gun shooters who are willing to let you shoot with them and ask all the questions you still have. Pay close attention to the gear they use, and take their advice (with a grain of salt) when asking about guns, ammunition, or places to shoot!What are some of your airgun rookie mistakes that you learned from?

Just sitting here laughing. You and those feet. Staying your course. I admire that.Sending an airgun via USPS mail ( nightmare) and feet in photos of guns.

I have not sent any, but received several via USPS. Most recently was a FWB 602 rifle. action and barrel removed from stock and so well packed by the shipper the only way it could have been damage was to have a truck run over it.Sending anv airgun via USPS mail ( nightmare) and feet in photos of guns.
