Introductions Hello from Carlsbad NM

[mmendes364]

Hello I am relatively new to PCP airguns. My primary is a Brocock XR magnum in 22. I also have a Daystate Revere in 22 as well. Looking forward to learning from the group.

@mmendes364 Welcome to the HAM community. For a newbie, you're off to a great start by acquiring a pair of quality air rifles. Great choices. I own a .25 Brocock Bantam Sniper HR and I love shooting and hunting with that gun. I've read a lot of good things about the Daystate Revere. I hope to see some photos of your rifles in future posts or threads. If you have questions take a look around and see if there are any threads or articles that already address them. If you don't have time to search and need an answer to a pressing issue or are unable to locate a suitable answer, ask away. I'm sure someone here would be happy to help you troubleshoot your issue.

The crazy thing is I am considering a Ghost HP as it has some many options. My only question is what caliber should I start with. I already have the 22 in my other guns. I hope to get in a beginner competition some day and work my way up if possible.

@mmendes364 I guess my answer to that question would depend upon what your intended uses and purpose for an additional rifle would be. Are you a hunter? Are you interested in long-range plinking to target shooting? Are you interested in Lon-range bench-rest shooting? Are you looking at the Ghost solely with participating in competition in mind? Or do you intend to begin competing with one of the guns you already own? Do you have an idea of what sort of shooting events you'd like to try your hand at?

 

[mmendes364]

I don’t intend to hunt with my air guns. Mostly I am plinking and would like to get better with accuracy etc. I haven’t found any local air gun groups in Carlsbad. My thought was that I would learn one discipline such as bench rest and go from there. I am open to try what ever is within the range for beginners. So the ghost would be for comp and long range plunking etc.

 

[Danman]

Hello and welcome! I'd for sure stick with .22 then. ammo that may not work well with a different gun might shoot Excellent in the ghost, or vise versa. Also more shots per fill than the 2 bigger calibers of course. And guess what, if u regret it you can always swap a different barrel

 

[mmendes364]

That is what I was thinking. Thanks for the advice.

Welcome to the forum. You've got some very nice rifles in your collection. So nice to have you as a member!

 

[mmendes364]

Thank you. I am really looking forward to learning more from everyone. Hopefully I will be able to bring something to the table one day.

Welcome aboard, have fun.

As a native NM boy living in NC now (miss the sun/food), I am glad to see you on here!

 

[mmendes364]

Thanks. Although it has been a bit windy lately. This time of year can make it tough to get out and shoot. I took my me .177 Ghost out for the first time last week. Even with the wind gusting up to 25 mph I was able to hit some decent groups at 35 yds.
