Absolutely brilliantIsn't that what this forum is? We introduce ourselves, "Hi, my name is Mike, and I'm an airgun addict", or something like that, we say how airguns have affected our lives, we ask for help on how to change our airgun habit, put our faith into a higher power when shooting far away or in the wind, and do 12 steps:
1. We admit we are powerless over airgunning, or often under-powered.
2. We believe that a Power greater than ourselves, a Pneumatic power, restores us to sanity.
3. We make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of our airguns.
4. We make a searching and fearless physical inventory of our arsenal.
5. We admit to the pneumatic gods, to ourselves on this forum, and sometimes to our significant others the exact nature of our addiction.
6. We are entirely ready to have airgunning remove all defects of aim.
7. We humbly ask ballistics to keep our shots from falling short.
8. We make lists of all pests we have shot, often with photos or video, and are willing to make corrections to shoot them more accurately next time.
9. We make direct shots to such pests wherever possible, except when to do so would injure other critters nearby.
10. We continue to take personal inventory of our airguns and where we are lacking we promptly admit it.
11. We seek through practice and meditation to improve our contact with the targets as we understand the distances, praying only for knowledge of trajectory and the power to shoot that far.
12. We, having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we try to carry this message to other airgun addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Only if you have more than 20 of these 5”x7” cards on fileI think we must start a Airgun Anonymous group as there are a lot of addicted to airgun people and they need help.![]()
What is a stronger more positive word than just addict ?For me addict seems somewhat of a weak description . .Isn't that what this forum is?

An exact quote from a opioids addict-said to me, ”I’m not an addict, I just know what I need to get me through the day.”I think we must start a Airgun Anonymous group as there are a lot of addicted to airgun people and they need help.![]()
