New guy here

Welcome aboard!

I have always been centerfire or rimfireshooter. I tried air rifles about four months back and I now own 3. Its the most fun iv'e had in years. Get ready to drop a lot of money. HA

Same ol' story here too...
Got into shooting PB's ("Powder Burners") in the early 200's. Turns out, I really enjoyed the sport of shooting! Who knew? Before long, I started to feel the effects...
Pricey ammo that's hard to find.
Drive to a range in order to safely shoot.
Drive to a range so no one complains about the shooting or the noise.
Drive to a range to scratch that itch. 
Drive to a range and sit next to someone that blatantly ignores safety rules.
Forgot your earplugs? Drive back and get them or try another day. or find some 9mm shells in a pinch. 
Can't transport your guns in the car this way or that way.
Have a poo poo day at the range? That can cost you $30 easily. 
Wait... is that a concealed handgun? Better have proper paperwork for that!

I still own, shoot, and enjoy PB's. But, the majority value in my collection rests in air rifles. All the stuff I have is easily in the 15K range without batting an eye. That's the downside to air rifles, the initial cost (at least with PCP's). 
But, wow the benefits! 
I shoot a LOT,
in my back yard, 
accurately,
discreetly.
I hone my shooting skills anytime I want. 
I perform pest control. 
Poo poo day shooting? There goes $5, maybe $10.
I suppose I could drive to the range if I wanted to, for that nostalgic feeling. 
I learn about wind, drop, trajectory, mil dots, cant, breathing, heart rate, trigger control, cheek weld, ammo.... with my "pellet gun" 


Here's a tip - DON'T USE YOUR PB SCOPES on a break barrel/springer style rifle without checking to see if they are airgun rated FIRST! Many many people have destroyed they're super deluxe, second to none, most favoritest scope they ever owned on springers. The recoil is opposite. 
Head on over to the springer section to ask for advise on shooting holds, scopes, ammo, etc. 
Oh yeah, give your barrel a good cleaning before shooting. And, don't use PB cleaners. Try a light coat of penetrating oil on a patch and pull it through a bunch of times. Then switch to dry patches until they come out clean. Don't forget to use the safety when doing this. 
Welcome!
Happy Shooting!
Tom

Welcome aboard man !! This is a really cool forum with some great guys and maybe an idiot or two ( counting me) . If you have any questions just jump your ass right on in ! The guys here are always happy to help . The stuff Tom just posted I'd say that's a LoT of us . Ammo costs , hassle loading all the gear , the noise , and the weekend Rambo's make a lot of shooting ranges anything but relaxing... In the Bbgun club you shoot cheap , quiet , and most fun Accurate !!!
That little piggy bank under your bed , this sport can get it ALLLLLLL.
But it's worth it .

Welcome but Beware......I sold a half section of land to support my new "Habit"!

Welcome to the addiction.
I haven't done much shooting of any kind since I was in high school some 40+ years ago. First rifle I ever scoped by myself was a pellet rifle just 3 years ago.
Have spent a small fortune since then. Enough to buy a nice car at least?
When you get to the "Dark Side" there's no turning back ;-)

Hi I am Mike. I got into air guns about 10 years ago. When I retired early and moved from Oregon to Montana, the first person I got to be friends with is Barry Abel. If there are any of you old old air-gunners out there, Barry published Airgun Ads, and the last one may have been 20 years ago. So, Barry got me interested in air guns. I have also gotten to be great friends with Rick Willnecker, Greg Fuller and Peter Ruut thanks to Barry. I mainly buy, sell and repair Benjamin, Crosman, Sheridan and Smith Wesson CO2 and pumpers. I have approximately 100 old ones in my collection. I do have a few PCPs in my collection, Disco 22 that I modified, Marauder .25 cal., Daystate Air Ranger .20 cal. and RAW HM1000X .25 cal.
Thanks Mike

RTR, welcome. Don't let these guys scare you about the investment costs. Buying air guns is like having a savings account in airgun that pays a GREAT interest. Only its in new friends and fun. You can always cash out and sell your investment and loose vary little. I have a friend that buys used guns, shoots them for a year and generally gets his investment back. 

I use imageshack . Guy who are using computers use photo bucket. There's a couple way to do it . There I a section about making the forum work that will likely help

Nay all it shows is a link

All It shows is this

Welcome aboard! Dittos on the obsession comments.

I would find out what pellet your rifle is most accurate with first off?
Maybe a pellet sampler to test different pellets in your Fusion to see what she prefers best?

Pyramyd Air is the great place to buy pellets once you find what your rifle likes.

Don't think I would try anything heavier than the 18 gr JSB's, but they do make a 34 gr .22 cal, but I would think that would best for a really high powered PCP rifle?

If I had to guess, I would assume your Fusion would be better suited for something in the 14 to 18 gr range?
