I consider myself quite new to our beloved hobby. Having no clue about the vast world and popularity of the airguns, I first discovered PyramidAir -- while surfing the net for pest control ideas -- and then AoA. From there, I was hopelessly hooked. Purchased my first PCP in 2015. That gun was a full length rifle, as were my next 5 PCP acquisitions.
I saw the bull pups on the site of the major airgun dealership out west -- the dealership near our southern border -- but I found the puppies listed unappealing. To paraphrase youtube airgunner Aaron Cantrell, then I discovered the WILDCAT. It was love at first sight. Taken with the utility and ergonomics of the Wildcat, my next 6 airgun purchases were all bull pups or semi-bull pups/carbines. Please forgive me if I flub the nomenclature, after all, I'm still new at this.
I am recently retired, with much free time on my hands and Air-gunning -- researching and shooting -- fills a void. I really enjoy this.
All that to pose this question:
Are bull pups just a fad? Or, are bull pups the future of air-gunning?
