Welcome to AIRGUN NATION - please introduce yourself here!

My name is Hector (hekk)
I got a air rifle when I was a kid, I was instantly hooked. The precision of pulling the trigger here and knocking that bottle off the post over there had an unexplainable sense of satisfaction. As I got older, the guns got more powerful, but the satisfaction remained the same. I am also a tinkerer and professional HVAC mechanic. Guns and airguns are another mechanical object that I can modify to perform better, so there's really two sides to the hobby for me, tinkering on the gun, then going out to test the modifications.
Also into shooting anything I can, bows, crossbows, darts and basketballs!!
 
Hey what’s up everyone! I’ve been a member here since 2015 but never posted anything. I am a certified airgun addict, and have been for about 4 or 5 years now. Got a bunch of pcp’s and a few springers too. Love to plink and recently started shooting in field target competitions over the last couple years in hunter piston. Really like the vibe here and will contribute when I can. See ya around! Joekrooz
 
 My name is Dave. I'm fairly new to airguns. Have been into guns and reloading for over 25 years but due to a nasty colon/bladder surgery I found it fun to shoot the pellet guns in the back yard while waiting for the surgery and during recovery. I recently purchased a beeman p1 on black Friday and I love it. Airguns are fun and I don't need to leave the house to enjoy them. I can see this is going to be a new addiction. May even have to sell a few center fires to get a nice pellet rifle. Oh, I live in the Washington state and work for the Boeing company as a preflight and delivery mechanic. 
 
Dave, welcome. Several folks from out yoiur way , some may be on the members map - banner link bottom of page- and in season you may find a shooting event of smoe type in your area.
You need to get together with some other airgun folks, shoot what they have , make good friends ( airgunners are the best) and learn at an accelerated rate.
I used to have the marksman 2002 ( 2000 ?) same pistol, so consistent I used IT to check my chrony. If your indoors - temp sensitive- you might look at a QB78 on sale these days for about $70.00. Turn a few screws on the trigger and you would be highly impressed, and, have a rifle low cost enough to keep all your PB's for now.

Hello Airgun Nation! My name is Curtis. I live in MD (originally from Wisconsin). I have been interested in the shooting sports since my first Red Ryder when I was a kid. I took a hiatus from powder burners in my early 30's when marriage, kids, business, money and other interests took up all of my time. Then one day (and 51 years down the road) I bought a Gamo break barrel on a whim.
HOOKED AGAIN!
Airguns now interest me even more than firearms used to. I don't have to go to a shooting range - I just go into my back yard. I can shoot as much as as little as I want (yes Dear, as long as the chores get done).
One more thing: Thank you to all fellow airgunners for the tips, videos and advise that have helped me improve my shooting and AG's.

Hello All! My name is Mike and Im an airgun addict. I am from from Midland Michigan. I've been involved with airguns since the mid 70's. In this time I've accumulated quite a collection,sold many ...and broke several along the way. Along with motorcycling and mediocre guitar playing,getting together (or shooting solo) with fellow airgun nuts is my passion. Looking forward to Your help,advice,tips and stories!
Respectfully Yours, Mike.
 
Hi everyone my name is Jon Hernandez. I've been shooting air guns off and on for more than 20 years. The last few year my time has been dedicated to my other love traditional archery. I have a 14 year old son and he love shooting so what better way to spend time with him. Got him and I UX Gauntlets for Christmas and were having so much fun shooting against each other. I have too admit he's the better shot. Well I'm glade I found this site and have already spent tons of hours reading and gaining lots of info. Thanks Jon
