Back in Nov 2016 I started getting interested in purchasing a pellet gun to treerat hunt with. I did shop a bit, but did no true research. I came a across a sale on the Sportsman Guide for a Gamo Fusion Mach 1 IGT .22 that claimed to be shooting 1100fps "woooo" being an avid archer, I fell for the fps claims like a lot of newbies do. Tried to shoot it in using Gamo pellets, don't laugh to hard 
..... So I did some research and found AGN. After some reading I realized what my problemS were. One its a Gamo, second I was shooting too light of a Gamo pellet to get the accuracy I was expecting. Also the included scope was not able to focus at 10 yds. So I ordered more pellets, heavier and better quality and also ordered a new scope. I got a hammers 4-12x40 with AO. Wow what a difference, half dollar groups at 40 yards and several treerat dinners.
The Saga continues, I kept reading and learning. Found out that those groups were not so great ! Good for a Gamo but not what could be achieved and I was envious seeing all the pictures of others shot groups ! The more I read the more I became interested in FT competition both rifle and pistol. Yup the addiction has begun. In the mean time I had bought a Crossman vigilante .357 .177 co2 revolver, which is a lot of fun and accurate at close range hand gun. So 2 months in and I now own 2 pellet guns and have a stupid long list of "I wannas" So tks to members of THAGC like my buddies Jimmy (fussel) and Dwight plus AGN members like Joe the gun stock burning pirate dude and many others my addiction has been fueled. I now own tks to my friend Dwight a fully tuned XS46U that I have put a UTG 3-12x44 IR w/AO and added a 80mm side wheel. That makes 3 in less than 3 months. oh boy here we go ! I am determined to tame the springer, even after being told that I would have to spend around $1200 to get a gun and scope combo springer that would be good enough to be competitive in FT. Or get a PCP ! Challenged the wrong man
Does it stop there, NO. I now have on order a Caldwell G2 chrony and found out with it that my LG phone wont do the Bluetooth so new smartphone has been added and I liked my simple LG phone ! So now lots more pellets ordered to test, plus multiple types of pellets and pop up targets and other paper targets. Cleaning kits, ...... Now with me being the anal type I just have to get a good quality digital scale and pelletgage and dies. Yikes !
Now, a PCP has actually caught my eye ! I am starting an 800 help line for my fellow air gunners who like me are truly on the road to addiction 1 800 pass air
