Careful when deciding to get into PCP!!!'s

[LtFireman]

It all started with a Hatsan 135 QE Carnivore Break barrel .30 for around $300. Now I have a Air Force Texan SS .30. THIS IS AN ADDICTION!! LOL I just cant stop buying upgrades and improvements and "necessary" items for my guns LOL I am close to $3500 in Air rifle items. While that doesn't seem like a lot that is just within the first 3 months. I NEED AN INTERVENTION HAHA. What i really need is another PCP LOL Maybe a .22 to plink with!!!

lol .. it helps to stay off the puter .. theres always somebody telling you about the next must have thing either directly or indirectly and then when you look for it theres 3 more things you run into you got to have with it ..

don't worry you will spend more.... a Whole lot more! if I remember correctly I'm at 13 or 14k and it is not a year yet (Started in august 2020) and just two pcps and no actual compressor either!

It helps if your not particularly good at math.

It's a bit to late for me and a few others as well. ;^) Some have gone far further down the rabbit hole and thrown much more into the money pit than me. To say it is impressive is such a small thing. But the addiction is well with us for sure.

The very reason I gave up PCPs. Spent more money and time on preparing than shooting.



Break-barrels rule.

Retirement has been good to me.

I'm fairly new to air guns also. Now...I have way too many, with two more on the way. Most are PCP.

Somebody should do like my old heroin contact, "First one's free!" BB guns are a gateway drug!

 

[Long_Gun_Dallas]

Yep, it's a pretty deep swimming pool. Most of us have drowned already and gone to airgun heaven lol

 

[tscktran]

Too late......

"Break-barrels rule." may be true as you've said but the PCP sets the standard once you take the plunge. Crossing over the "dark side" is a never ending trip that can/has lead into a money pit but it's worth it if you can keep up with it financially. When all has been said and done and the push has turned into a shove, I can always depend on my RX2 in .22, my Beeman R10 in .20 or my FWB124D in .177. As the sun was going down, I pulled out my FX Streamline in .22 and it's always great knowing how effortless it is shooting it and gittin hur done without breaking a sweat.

Too late for me too. Been hooked for a while, but I don't regret it, well, not too much.
