You know you are an Airgunner when...

[cda00]

You just buy another gun and save the box. Glad I could help!

I keep getting asked "why are those boxes in the basement?" ....

 

[coastal drifter]

You go to various stores looking for odd long boxes for shipping airguns and they ask what are you shipping" O fishing poles"

telescope lol

Lol..the first thing i thought of when i saw the title was collecting cardboard
Glad to see i am not the only one roaming the alley's looking for big boxes

Where do you find those long boxes for shipping?

If you can...take apart the rifle to ship ...The longer the length of the box, the more you will pay.
try removing the stock to shorten it up

You view each cardboard box in terms of "will that be easily cut into the appropriate size for my target boxes?". I mean, sometimes, it is obvious but other times you have to get out the measuring tape. And most of the boxes are delivered from airgun related purchases ;-).

I like to describe my backing boards as "well perforated"

The backstop fridge we have at 100 Y, when we take that to recycling i am so going to be there CUZ i want to see the people at the recycling yard in the face when we show them the extremely shot up piece of metal.
Normally these get put aside to remove gasses in them, not sure they would bother with ours, but TBH i have never seen it emit anything after a shot, if there is still gas it it, i think it is a wonder.

I am an Automotive Service Manager and all my techs know I shoot when the weather is good. So when decent "Target" size parts boxes are emptied, they bring them to me before taking them to the dumpster anymore....they know I stockpile the hell out of some decent sized boxes! Lol... They know I LOVE Radiator, AC Condenser, and Control Arm Boxes......Sometimes I take old radiators and condensers home, shoot the hell out of them and take them back for the scrap metal bin.....I have an almost endless supply of "targets" at work....

Cousin of mine saves/uses pizza boxes

I usually save those boxes for the period of the return policy just in case the air gun has any issues for easy return. Bought 6 PCP this far, had to return 2. Keep rate of 67% is pretty low for brand new PCP airgun keep rate in my opinion.

Ah yes, saving all the boxes that your air rifles were shipped to you just in case you ever sell them. But you never do.......
