I remember that I used to not see any reason to shoot a springer. Now I really appreciate them and have a lot of great springers. Anyone else come to springers from PCPs? I did have BB guns as a kid but when I back into airguns it was 100% pcps.
Formerly PCP only now really into springers

Weihrauch HW97K
Air Arms TX200
Those are very good for the money.
Also shooting a PCP doesn't take skill a all, a springer does.

Was there a time where you couldn't even imagine in your wildest dreams that one day you would prefer springers?
Because that's where I am.

I started with springers/c02 then pcp but of late I have been enjoying springers again ....I guess I just like both

Springer's are the best. All are different. You need to find out what they like. How to hold them. Some like a lite hold, yet I've had some that like tighter hold. Some very picky others not. They are great. Hmm sounds alot like a lady

I purchased PCP's first then picked up a HW77 and was hooked. Easy to be accurate with a PCP. Challenging to be accurate with a springer. Hitting a dime sized target at 50 yards with a springer is fun as hell. I save the PCP's for windy or range days.

Yeah Blackdiesel,
I seem to go back and forth between my Weihrauch Springers and my RAW PCP's - but won't sell either. Best of both worlds
.I also have a BAM B50, a few QB78/79's and a BSA R10 - trying to decide what to do with them

I probably would enjoy a Maurader of a Diana K98 PCP. However the PCPs with outside tanks look like water guns to me.

I have a Benjamin Discovery with pump. Pumped it up maybe 3 times. Never again.
‘On this forum I read constantly how easy PCP’s, no challenge. Hitting chipmunks at 200 yds. amazing. To be expected, not my style. I like a challenge. Switching different springers every day keeps me on my toes. Crow

I am not ashamed I just love to squeeze a trigger no matter what the gun is. I love my springers(only got 3) and my PCPs(2) equally. Springers are more challenging to shoot consistently accurate but thats the challenge. I have never met a person that shoots that says that gun (any type) is too easy to shoot accurately and its no fun. lol
Thanks

I started with pumpers and moved to springers. Bought my first pcp last year. Now I have 5 pcp and two HW springers.
When I go up north, a springer always comes with. I really like both systems.
I will buy another pcp maybe next year, but nothing can replace my HW30 &HW95. They are pure pleasure ( Now that I figured out how to shoot the 95) and I will never be without my springers.

Cock ,load, shoot , repeat. Overhead cost ... Another 7$ 500 count tin of pellets . Maybe a spring and seal sfter several 1000's of shots (50$+/-) .
Pcp.. lol... Where do you start and end on ovethead cost just to shoot 1 pellet?

Some things are worth the cost. I don't have any complaints about PCPs. I have a couple of PCPs that get over 200 shots per fill and I pretty much am air independent. So in essence, it's like a springer. I don't consider if one is better than the other. I enjoy both. I do have a lot more PCPs than springers but there are so many more options for PCPs at this time.
