Other Confused old newbie here.

So, I'm 63 and not real social as in I don't do a lot of commenting or posting I just read the forum posts and classifieds. I have only been a member of the site for a few weeks now and as I said, I haven't really posted anything. I found a bottle for an FX airgun which I have been looking for since I have a Panthera Hunter and wanted to ask a few questions and possibly purchase it. However I get a notification that I must have a minimum of 10 posts and a minimum of 10 days of activity. I'm not really sure what that means? 10 posts of things for sale? 10 posts of just discussion? I have no idea what "posts" I need to be working towards not that the bottle I found won't likely be sold by then anyway. And 10 days of activity? Does that mean just browsing? Being a member of? I again am not quite sure what it is I need to do. Like I said I'm 63 and not real active on the internet so I'm kind of dumb when it comes to all this stuff. So any guidance as to what it is I need to do would be appreciated. I also have a friend who is worse than me, he doesn't have the internet but saw some things on here when I was looking at the classifieds and he had interest but I told him I would need to figure out what it is I need to do before I can help him out. So, Thank you for any help! Larry

I like it so far. It fills my small Ninja tank and all my guns and it's fairly quiet. I have another cheaper compressor that will only fill to 350 bar that I will use if I go to the range. I can hook it to my battery and run it off that.
Hmm? Mine hooks up to my trucks battery as well, it sure looked the same as mine. I only fill my guns as well, max size for me is 480cc.
 
Beer… whats in NY ?

and curious as to the southwest having a lot of the top airgun stuff. Stores , ranges , competitions , wide open land.
I mean the real gun shooting opportunities must be much greater than here in upstate NY.
I had never heard of a pcp gun. Never seen in magazines ( thing of the past to the young).
So Thats part of my curiosity. I can understand maybe the UK or other restrictive societies that barely allow any guns.

I was wondering the same thing. New to Airgun Nation but have been shooting airguns my whole life. NY does not off much to the people in our hobby and we seem to be a minority here in NYS. If you know of any airgun shows or meetups in NYS I would appreciate the info.

There’s a number of airgun venues in NY…Duchess County, Rochester, and 3-4 others that don’t come to mind right now. Google Field Target New York. Down here in FL, we have a number of guys that shoot with us during the winter that are from NY. Good luck with your mission. John
PS Don’t be bashful..all the folks at All the clubs are great…they would be thrilled you’re interested and will go way out of their way to make sure you have a great time.

Also…depending on where abouts you are in NY…New England Airgunners have 5-6 venues available. Check them out too. John
