Why I Love Springers
- Thread starter JoeWayneRhea
- Start date
Joe hit it right on the bean. That's why my wife insisted that I get into PCPs. I couldn't go to the lake with my Beeman R7 without every bikini-clad bimbo on the beach begging for my "attention". Now you guys know the REAL reason why I was so satisfied with my R7 for so many years!
You're a HOOT, Joe!

Joe, I watched your springer video and believe you picked off every scab. It proves that even us portly men of substance can garner the right kind of attention! I own springers,PCP's and PB's.So if I'm using modern math,shouldn't I get three times the action?? I can relate to your statement about bourbon,but am I penalized for 25 year old rum backed up with quality cigars ??
Joe,you da' man !!!

Love your videos Joe. The spring gun relationship is a love/hate relationship and that’s what keeps me coming back all the time. HEY, IF IT WERE EASY WOMEN WOULD BE SHOOTING ‘EM! Springers have charector and if I were pinned down in a fox hole with an air gunner that I had to rely on, I would sure as poop hope he wasn’t a sand baggin European PCP shooter!

Spot on! I've been shooting air guns since 1975 and I love Springers (and CO2 guns to be honest)! I just have no interest in PCPs.

Joe,
For me (somewhat sadly) an air-rifle/air-pistol is not a 'real' airgun unless it is powered by a spring.
I really appreciate my SSPs - a Walther LG90 & a Baikal IZH-46M, but it is my springers that are my true love.
Yesterday, I installed a Tony Leach 22mm conversion into my TX200, and it is superb - you just cannot do the same level of improvements/messing/fiddling/experimenting on a PCP.
Have fun & a good Sunday
Best regards
Russ

Joe, great video. Informative and entertaining. What else can we ask for ;-)
I have a small collection or air guns; three to be exact. Two springers and a PCP. I do most of my shooting in my back yard and what you said about the extra stuff needed for the PCP is definite true. I spent a couple of hours shooting my D48 yesterday and what a joy it is to cock, load, shoot and repeat. No fuss, no muss. I had replaced the piston in the 48 so this was my 1st opportunity to give it a proper sight-in and chrony it. (Besides, my CF tank is low and needs to be topped off...)
There's a certain rhythm you get when shooting springers that's hard to reproduce when shooting PCPs.

"Cock,load,shoot and repeat.No fuss,no muss."
Yep,that pretty well sums it up. I couldn't have said it any better. Btw...Nice video Joe!

Where else could we get this profound and deep understanding of the universal mysteries of pellet gunnery and BBology....except by way of the one eyed visionary Joe Rhea?
Joe, You are able to tie airgun philosophy, airgun spirituality and multiple scientific disciplines together in ways that even your dog can comprehend....

LOL! That was funny stuff right there! Thanks for not dropping your pants to show off your well toned butt muscles though.

Very amusing video Joe! And some really good points. I think most PCP-owners started with springers, and now and then get them out in the daylight, and not only for nostalgic reasons. At least that is what I do now and then. No doubt, springers are fun to shoot with, and specially the pistols are challenging. This video would suit the PCP-section as well I think.

Love the video, Joe. And couldn't agree more.
I've been wondering why I haven't seen any posts from you on another site, and then happened across another recent video explaining your banishment! Sorry to hear you were exiled, but the silver lining (for me, anyway) was that it led me to follow you to AGN, which I hadn't really paid attention to before. Glad you are still out there causing trouble in TX. I'm trying to stay out of trouble (and the cold) here in MI, but it's a little easier to do that with one of your FWB300s in my basement.
Keep making the videos! And long live springers!
