Introductions New guy from Michigan

[katonahjohn]

Just registered. Started with air guns in August of this year with a Hatsan model 25 22 cal springer pistol that takes 58 pounds of pressure to cock it. Its back to sitting in its box. Followed by a Benjamin Marauder in 22 cal. Quickly followed by a tethered 9L bottle (G). Then a Crosman 177 pumper pistol, a Daisy 901 pumper, a Crosman 22 cal pumper. I'm trying hard to stop with what I have. I just shoot paper from the bench at the 50 yard range. No pests bothering me other than my wife. Temps in the mid 20's, windy, so I'm down here in my warm dungeon instead of at the range. 75 YOA cold gets into the bones too quickly.. My real pen name should be spelled "katonahjohn" , just too lazy to look at what I've typed..

Welcome to our HAMlet, and I thoroughly approve of your apparent love of pumpers. The best part of that variable power is ability to use it in a nice warm man cave while the weather outside is frightful.

Welcome to the HAM forum man! Looks like you've got a nice collection of airguns going on there too.

Welcome. Yeah I started just before the Pandemic and Kinda just like what you have. As a kid I had a 922 pumper.
But after long discussion and hangout here for awhile they(HAM) talked me into a PCP especially when the opportunity to shoot Rodents arise..
Game Changer!!!
Dont be shy. There are some coupons also after getting so many Ham points.
I think??? Umerex even has a 20% one for us.

Welcome…Michigan here as well. Livingston county. The rabbit hole can get deep. Lol

Welcome. I'm in southeast Michigan.

 

[BanjomanMI76]

Welcome aboard. I am from somewhere between Flint and Lansing.
On Thanksgiving Day I was asked what I was thankful for and I replied "I am thankful I wasn't born in Ohio".

That's what I'm thinking too. Nice finished basement but a large tv, a 90 gal fishtank plus my son is in the business of buying/selling LEGos which are taking up much of the basement. Gonna have to think.. I'm sitting at my computer desk, stairs about 20 feet away, put a target box on the stairs. Just have to decide if firing at 20 feet will satisfy my addiction (G)..

Welcome to the board. Where in Michigan? I’m in Cadillac.

In Marysville, along the St Clair River, just south of Port Huron. So many Michiganders here! Nice state to live in, with a decent climate living in between the Lakes. Too bad we got the big cities but that's life..

You can't tell me you miss pasties and fudge !
More snow tomorrow but we may get a break around Christmas.
Sadly no work on the indoor range I was helping to build until Spring.
