Define yourself as a shooter...

[Kragman1]

I think of myself as a glorified plinker that wants to try them all. I am an enthusiast, not necessarily a collector. I don't compete. I am mostly focused on sporting springers and I would like to get back into small game hunting, but with an airgun.

You?

I have always been a hunter and have been fortunate enough to get to hunt in many different states on both sides of the country.

Due to health issues, I have not been in about 5 years. Could have gone last year but could not bring myself to drive 45 minutes to fight the Florida heat and mosquitoes. That kind of sucks the fun out of it but I am determined to go squirrel hunting tomorrow when the small game season opens in the wildlife management areas as the last several days have been comfortable.

I have always been a hunter, large and small game, starting with bb/pump air rifles, then powder and now back into pcp small game hunting. Not able to hunt deer or larger anymore.

Not much of a hunter here, Plinking is therapy for me, i go out back and shoot my troubles away.
when i was younger with 5 kids and 2 jobs i didn't have much time for shooting, but now i do and love it.
especially with todays modern PcPs.

 

[Luis Leon]

Plinker first, then pesting and some targets… I don’t hunt, use to, but simply don’t have the time or desire…

 

[JimT66]

Modern PCP's sure make it nice dont they.

I’m a ground squirrel assassin with my Airguns.

I'm an accuracy nut. I enjoy finding out what is possible. Then I plink just to relax, and pest whenever the need arises around the property.

How you get the beasts to stay still long enough to bag em Mike? Those things here are constantly on the run.

Here they’re still. They stick their heads out and stand still

started hunting squirrels at a young age that became just flat out irradiating the blasted tree rats and since I like shooting and the little town I live does like up shooting anymore to save having to go somewhere to shoot I can target or just punch paper here at home.
since I got into PCPs guns I shoot far more and enjoy it far more then I did with pump guns and since I never enjoyed springs I am a PCP paper punches tree rat smakin hick

Agreed!

Pesting on my small country property. Birds love fruit as much as I do, but since I planted and tend my trees, shrubs, n plants I figure they're mine? Then tree squirrels, starlings/grackles by the hundreds here, and the odd coon n skunk. Hunting is waaaaaay to much work and BS to get into (need 3 licenses just to shoot a morning dove) Paper and plinking are really fun as well. Everything I own must at some point be used to pest or it wouldn't stick around. Competition with my brother using his rimfires and Diana magnum springer....usually just bragging rights!

Been fascinated by guns and knives for as far back as I can remember. Got a hatchet and pocket knife at about the age of five but had to wait until my 13th birthday for my first air rifle-still have it 62 years later- cans and birds were my preferred targets. Feel guilty about some of the bird targets of my youth. Got into waterfowl and upland bird hunting by the age of 15, got into PB's and just a bit of deer and elk hunting. Coincident to that came handloading, bullet casting and range time. Had a bout with cancer shortly after my best pheasant hunt ever and haven't hunted with PB's since. For the last few years I've rediscovered airguns for plinking and pesting in the backyard.

 

[pan60]

Had a bout with cancer

cancer really sucks I have been almost four years now with a clean bill of health but the took between 20% to 30% of my atomic and although I am canner free I am not what I was.
but thank God I had today.

I’m mainly a small game hunter with springers and rammers but throw in a couple of PCPs now and then. Butttt with age and back issues I have been mostly a backyard plinker for the last couple of months and hopefully this problem is fixed tomorrow morning so I can get back to normal soon. Anytime with an airgun is time well spent.

I am accuracy/precision driven. While I like shooting outdoors at targets, I am just as happy chasing one hole accuracy indoors at 7 yards. Distance isn't as important to me as precisely placing 5 pellets thru the same exact hole.
