After a bit more time to delve into that link, I once again wish to thank you for directing me to it.
I've been a hunter for over 50 years, and a CF benchrest competitor for 15. I've always thought airguns were "below" my skill level, mostly due to the limited range airguns provided.
This is interesting.....I'm beginning to develop an attitude that while CF rifle and airgun shooting are similar in form and desired result, they compare almost equally as to riding a motorcycle does to driving a car. Completely different skill set, though the desired result is pretty much the same.
A 600 yard hit on a prairie dog ceased to amaze me years ago. But, today, a 30 yard hit on a golf ball is a worthwhile endeavor.
This is going to be fun. Thanks for providing a forum that's so welcoming and informative.
As an aside, I tried to join the first airgun forum that popped up on Google. Four days later, I'm still awaiting membership approval. I've kind of lost interest in that venue.

Just don’t buy anything at the classifieds on that link unless you know the seller they tend to attract scammers that ruin it for the honest folks.

You hit it right in the X and this is why I love shooting airguns.
Some chance meeting has put me knowing a group of folks who in military service and in one manner or another was relied on for their shooting ability. When we started talking about windage and holdovers with Air Rifles and the challenge of reading the wind, and thermals you can see the eyes light up.
It's putting a that hole in the X with a crosswind and doing it better than you did the week before or the buddy next to you that makes this hobby fun.
