My mom and dad, my sister and brother-in-law, and my wife and I have a small private family campground we're at nearly every weekend during the summer season. My father and I each just invested in an FX Impact X in .30 cal, and we have a compressor and a CF air tank for quicker air fills at the range. We have set up a pretty nice range/backstop to allow shooting out to 100 yards pretty easily. My dad and I moved over from powder burners, and have been shooting together for several years, but we'd like to see my brother-in-law join us. My dad gave him a lower end Umarex break barrel in .177, and he is really enjoying shooting, but he won't really be able to enjoy the same shooting experience we are having with the PCPs that are mag fed, and shooting to greater distances.
I'm researching the best entry level PCP that will make it reasonable for him to shoot with a couple of Impact Xs at typical distances of 50 to 80 yards, with an occasional 100 yards for the fun of it. I'm really anxiously awaiting the Gauntlet in .25 to hit the market, but the Hatsan Flash has been recommended as well. I like the idea of regulated, but I don't suppose it's an absolute requirement. We have all the needed equipment to let him get into PCP airguns with just an airgun, and I'm looking for what would be the best performing PCP to enter with. Don't know if there would be any .30 cal, which would be nice, to keep us all on the same pellets, but I would want to stay at .25 cal at a minimum I think.
