Why Did You Join AGN?
- Thread starter Ezana4CE
- Start date
I joined AGN and GTA around the same time when I got back into airguns. I wanted to learn what was out there and got sucked in big time.
Have to admit the first few weeks I felt like I was reading Greek and the learning curve was steep. Now I know a lot more and enjoy airgunning as a hobby. I just wish I had more machining experience as I like to do more modifications, but still enjoy learning vicariously.
Although I don't hunt I also enjoy reading about other's camping/hunting trips and seeing a more practical application of the hobby other than punching holes in paper.

The chicks
Normally I am content with browsing and not being actively involved in a forum. But when an air rifle popped up that I wanted, had to get those posts in.

I had joined GTA and the yellow forums back in 2013 as my main information centers when I first got more serious into PCP Airguns, before that I was on the once very active Crosman forums daily, making my own custom builds with 1322s, 2240s, and the Discovery into nice HPA setups. Also was a frequent member of the Talon Tunes forum, mainly for my AirForce builds.
I believe I joined AGN itself back in 2015 purely for the "extra" classifieds section to post in, this was back when the yellow forums were still very alive. I did a lot of selling/trading back then! I've seen a lot of stuff come and go in these past 10 years, sadly many skilled custom gun builders/modders, but I am glad the industry is still very much alive.
If I remember (barely) AGN was very different then and much smaller. Glad to see how it has grown when I came back to rejoin the hobby full time just a few months ago!

Was on the yellow forum for years!!! Was very sad after it died. I had over 40 springers at one time!!! Some very rare. Sold them all after getting bitten by the metal detecting bug and I lost my place to shoot. Now today a shooting range open up 15 min from my house member ship is cheap for the year. I still metal detect but shoot a lot more now. I have 10 PCP rifles right now looking for 2 more. Might trade for another one here and there like did with my springers.....like to get one springer.....

To bad that looks like GTA is slowly dieing, it's good to have options but looks like not to long in the future AirgunNation will be the only one standing,.....love to go read the very old threads on the archives on GTA, what a different airgunning world it was.

Because I like reading/talking about airguns but even more so shooting them. Was a member of the old yellow forum forum back in late 90s until it became AGW and now its basically a dead forum. Also was a member of the Fun Supply forum until it was no more.
This is the best forum on the net right now, a lot of very knowledgeable people who dont mind helping others.. GTA forum is slowly dying it seems also hardly any posts anymore.

Had to. The airgun community in my homeland is so small, specially here at the coast where I live.

I trolled and read a lot for a couple months and didn't see a lot of the drama and bullcrap that is usually on forums.
I joined and have gotten a lot of info and knowledge. It's a good place with great members. I hope I can add to it sometime.

At the time the GTA forum seemed very intimidating even though I lurked and learn quite a bit there. The newbies seemed to be attacked left and right and I did not want to be one of them. I felt more at ease asking my newbie questions here. 
Thank you everyone!

I joined for the the fellowship, and to learn/pass on info about shooting and marksmanship. Not to mention I have NEVER owned an air rifle since my 760 Pumpmaster days as a kid. I have learned so much about PCP rifles in like the past 3 years. Also, nobody near me is into air guns so I do a LOT of shooting by myself....sad life right? Lol.

Wanted to acquaint myself with fireamrs over the years but never did...am 56 y/o

now I dove in and bought an Avenger Bullpup and am awaiting its arrival
eventually itd be nice to bag a turkey
this place looks/seems cool. lotsa info. hope to learn, maybe meet up with some peeps to shoot.
