Not in the least. The Crown draws attention, So did the Airwolf for that matter. We now have two members additional who are owners of entry level AG's! My best story..........A loud mouth was trying to teach his teenage granddaughter how to shoot with a Ruger 10-22, It was embarrassing hearing him raise his voice at her, I was just left of them. He asked me politely what I was shooting and I answered a 25 FX Crown. He smiled and asked if I wanted to try a little competition at 50 yards. Sure Lets do it I said. So he started to put those 2" round splatterburst bull on the butcher paper. I said lets try something more challenging huh? I got out my .25" red dots and said "how bout these? We both get 4 dots 5 per dot and we will have the members declare the winner sound good?" So away we went! He literally quit after 2 dots.So I asked why don't you try this gun or at least let your granddaughter shoot it. I was surprised, but he agreed. He was amazed at the quality of the gun and he shot it well. So GD stepped in and he started in again. So I asked him to let me work with her a bit please. She was awesome! She had no bad habits yet and settled right in on those little dots!
Lemon-aid was made from an old sourpuss!! LOL
2D1C,
I absolutely LOVE your story. I have plenty of room here at home for my range, and I've never even considered going to the public range to shoot my airguns. But all these positive experiences expressed here, and yours particularly, has me thinking maybe I'm missing out on a great load of fun. I more than applaud you, 2D1C. Plus one for you!!!
