Hello All:

Joined today ... 4/28/2020

Name is Karl, I'm 60-years-old and a few weeks ago I purchased my 2nd Air Rifle (Crosman Vantage NP .22). My first was a Crosman 760-Pumper when I was 14-years old while growing up in Michigan. Also, I have a Gamo Magnum .22 on order, I've already been testing a few different pellet brands and weights, I've also made a pellet trap, which I use from inside a room through an open door to the corner of my garage (aprox. 33 feet). neighbors don't like the noise when I shoot in the backyard

Welcome to the community. Have fun with those break barrels. My favorite pellet rifles to shoot. Get to know how each likes to be held and its favorite pellets and have fun.

Hello, and welcome to a great group of fellow airgun addictis. My first airgun was also a Crosman 760. That was back in 1979 and I still have it. It needs a little TLC after all these years though.

Welcome! Glad you are having fun! Noise is definitely a battle

Does anyone know how to insert a picture of the body of a post instead of it appearing as a download like in my first post above ?



********* THANKS FOR THE WELCOME *************

Use the add photo button in the toolbar. It’s the one to the right of the smile face in this screen capture that I just took.

That's the fastest way to post a pic as mentioned by Kgphotos above. Another way to post pics, especially if you want them to come out sharp is to use imgur photo hosting site. Once you upload your pictures to imgur, got to the photo and copy the url and paste it in the body here. BTW, welcome to AGN.

Welcome Karl. When the Gamo shows up be sure to shoot some pellets before mounting the scope to get all oil out and eliminate dieseling. Also try some 14.35 grain JSB's. My Gamo Mach 1 loves them.

WHAT Noise? Are you shooting a bloody cowbell at dinner time? Fire away I say.Ask them to join,(more the merrier) or tell them take a long walk off a short pier. Welcome home bud.

Or, do a little research on the loudness of each gun you want. 



Pyramyd Air has perhaps the best, consistent data on gun loudness. I'm shoot CO2 and spring coil and gas ram pellet guns (pistols and rifles). The degree of loud to quiet is amazing. So, there could be some options that would allow you to plink away and not rattle your neighbors ears (or windows). 



Enjoy and be safe,
