I've always enjoyed anything that can shoot, slingshots, bows, guns. The zen and discipline of mastering something in order to get on target was always there but I grew up in a horrific blue state and had parents that were anti anything to do with "weapons". I just used whatever my friends had available growing up.
A bunch of years later I got a job as an armed guard where I was trained in firearms and eventually became an assistant range master. I had constant access to arms, ammo and ranges without needing to be a member in a private club. I was completely hooked at that point. Still living in a tyrannical blue state, I found an online dealer that didn't know any better and shipped me out a Diana springer pistol in .177 and that was my first step. Rabbits were my quarry for a long while.
Fast forward and I finally made my escape to a free state and now I can sit on the front porch and shoot whatever I want in my own yard.
I got into PCP rifles very recently as I've always been curious about them. The precision, the convenience of no hearing protection, the relative safety of lower power and the lower cost of ammo all drove the decision.
I'm just hooked now. I have a rural property chock full of pest critters to keep me busy and it's the most fun I've had in years. In my 50s and having a second, more proper childhood
