Ever want to sell every PCP? Just go back to tuned springers?

LOL!! I guess I'm going against the norm here. I am heading in the springer direction. However I will say this is for FT only. I shot one springer prior to the nationals this year and loved it. So I decided to shoot Hunter Piston class at the Nats and did pretty well for getting a gun set up 3 days prior. Next year is dedicated to WFTF Piston and maybe a few PCP Open GP's. Absolutely love the required focus and discipline required to shoot a springer. Every target at every distance is a challenge. There are no giveme's when shooting a springer. Lose your focus for a sec and you'll miss for sure.

Not at all .... the PCP's get shot, enjoyed & cherished.
My spring guns seldom see the light of day

I am considering a springer just for a change of pace and to give another springer shooter if one shows up. Now I'm trying to decide which one. I'm leaning towards a tx200 but I love the blue stock HW97. If I could find a blue TX200 or an aftermarket stock for one thats reasonable id grab it.

Really, seriously, emphatically, I hate springers. PCP's and pampers are the only thing left but after blowing out my shoulder, I can't pump a gun.

Why did you give up pcp?
My Snowpeaks will never go anywhere. They are durable and very easy to work on. I’ve never had them go down unless it was me tinkering on them.
I doubt my Huntsman will leave me.
I do plan on adding a springer, it’s been 25 years since I bought my last springer. Unfortunately I don’t have that RWS 48 anymore. I think I’ve determined I want a HW50S.

I just got tired of messing with the air tanks and having to keep filling the tanks. I had one leak and the expense of sending it back and forth really soured me on them. I kept the Talon (hopefully it moves quickly) as it was easy to work on but the ergonomics is not good. The spring rifles just seem to fit me as I'm basically a plinker. I don't need the power of the PCP's as the rimfire fills that need.

It's a 2020 thread...but what the heck... Once I got my first compressor (alpha 90) it was PCP 85% of the time... Hunting or plinking...a couple of years ago I upgraded my compressor to a better one and now it's PCP all the way... But I kept my 2 favorite springers... Just in case

I never had a bit of interest in PCPs. I have rimfires. Pretty much equal in my mind. Every time I see a review or targets 50 yds and under from a PCP that is less than I shoot with springers I smile. It's pretty often.

I could light a cigar with a flint and steel and some dry tinder. I could light my house with rush lights or flaming torches in brackets Indiana Jones style. I could stay warm dressed in rabbit skins stitched together with hammered hemp fibres. I could communicate over distance with a smoky fire and a blanket.
Think I’d rather use the modern solution.
Hell, if it was good enough for Lewis and Clark……

Don’t sell, you’ll regret it. Just save for a pcp. Plenty of quality used rifles come up on here.

Shot PCP back in mid 90s to early 2000s plus springers, then went all springers until last fall and started getting back into pcps.
I like both equally well but really appreciate the simplicity of a springer and a tin of pellets.
A lot more work staying accurate with springers and a lot more money to keep shooting pcps.
