Introductions A Brief introduction ..... and good tidings

[FL22]

15 years approximately , the end of my career was vigorous and leisure time sporadic. It spent months at a time in the case in the closet, and when I pulled it out ultimately the battery was dead. I had an air arms 510 ex fac for about a year before it was stolen in a break in, bough it used ( another mistake ) with the insurance money.

Instead of a hammer it has a solenoid the trigger is extremely adjustable, believe it or not there is such a thing as too much" lite trigger" .

The power can be adjusted electronically as well , 15 power levels, but you have no idea what the difference between them is , so it can be very annoying especially when you are close to a good tune. AT least a spring is easy to replace and reasonably predictable.

It Sounds good, however long term is so much marketing hype and really just a bell and whistle. Great for marketing types to hype.

Last two years, trying to breath life into it again.

I was considering the used Renegade .25 at AOA, most of the reviews were okay.. I don’t mind older used Airguns but it has me questioning if one that old with electronics would be a wise choice for my skill set and temperament .

I shoot skeet and sporting clay, what I have learned there is that switching guns is/can be a problem.
I see people who have lots of guns , switch often and never are fully proficient ( defined as shooting their best) with any particular gun. It has to do with the sub conscious mind making adjustment ,lots of practice and shooting without conscious thought .

You will shoot better when you are not trying to think about compensating for each guns difference.

So that is the view point for the one gun theory.

Or, you can take notes on each gun and review them before a shooting session. I have a lot of springers, and each likes to be held a certain way, likes certain pellets etc.

Its not always how the gun shoots. Each of mine is accurate. . . as accurate as I am on any given day. My old Sheridan is accurate and fun to shoot. My TX200 will always shoot better than I can. My HW97K is a joy to shoot as well, especially under challenging conditions. And oh, its accurate too. I have two Dragonflys, pure fun to shoot with my grandson. It too is quite accurate. See, each of my airguns is accurate, it's the shooter who makes the big difference. Orv.
