What is AGN, to you?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
AGN has helped me develop "friendships & contacts" nation/world wide with passionate airgunners like myself, I've found this forum very helpful in finding rare/difficult to find airguns I've been looking for through networking, both ways, for me and for my friends, also I've found some great guns (like my Taipan Veteran .22, Huntsman Regal .20) in the classifieds. Mostly the friendships with wonderful guys whom I chat with almost every day...sometimes for hours...never seem to run out of airgun stuff to talk about...I spend way too much time on AGN however I'm moving to Fla from TN and have 10ac's to shoot on now so I will be spending more time shooting...yea!!!

School.

Many of you have taught me quite a bit about air guns, even having to read between the proverbial lines of various posts. I knew relatively little about modern air guns when I bought my first gun, a Lelya 2.

I don't just read threads or posts about "one" topic or brand of gun. I read about various discussions, to broaden my knowledge base. After all, they ALL are powered by air ! 

And as I've learned, I've been lucky enough to gain enough knowledge, (along with my general background) to be able to help some others here also. That's a nice feeling.

So...yeah, thanks to those that have helped (and even the one or two that given me a hard time !) me learn this new to me sport.

Mike

To me, AGN is therapeutic. With all the physical ailments laid upon me in the last couple of years, it had put me in a place I never thought I’d be in in retired life. AGN has kept me from going to the “real dark side”. It has kept me from turning into the hulk. Those are the main reasons I hang out here.

I’ve found thru some personal messages from folks reaching out to me that I am not alone with these ailments, and to those folks over time I’ve made some great relationships with. I’ve made a lot of “invisible friends “ on this forum, great people I’ve never met. Some of them way worse than in my situation, and when I hear how they trudge thru life, they inspire me.

Lets face it, life is hard enough as it is, and we all need something to brighten our day. This hobby brings that to me, which in turn provides overall balance. 


The technical lessons I’ve learned in this hobby, is just icing on the cake the way I see it

WAY MORE than I'd ever expected it to be when I first joined! In the beginning I was only looking for solutions to problems or answers to questions about the new "hobby" I'd gotten into. There have been so many more advantages to belonging here that I'd never foreseen. I've been helped & able to help (the greater of the two), made friends both close in proximity & those never seen face to face. Gotten insight into aspects I probably never would have explored. Become a better shooter with the knowledge I've gained & become a better person for the human interaction I would have missed out on. I love what Augie (Bigragu) said about "invisible" friends. It's connections such as that that would have been missed. I stopped reading the news months ago. Too depressing & don't know who's telling the truth anymore. AGN goes great with my morning coffee & cigarette. It gives me an opportunity to learn & possibly be of service every day. Thanks MICHAEL for all the hard work you do to keep us connected!!! I care about all of you!
