Introductions Hello from the Netherlands

[Eckhearth]

Thank you for letting me into this amazing airgun community! Good to see so many airgun enthusiasts at this one place. It is a pleasure to read all the information and experiences in this community! And good to see that there is a very positive vibe!

I started my airgun journey when I was around 9 years old, my grandfather had a Weihrauch hw35. And my first shooting experience was with him. Plinking at a field next to my grandparents house. An experience which I never forgot, and I still have this airgun fever until this very day thanks to my grandfather.

My grandfather isnt with us anymore, but I cherish the memories and I am still the proud owner of his Weihrauch hw35.

Through the years I was lucky to have shot and tried almost every brand out there.
There are so many good airguns out there and so many are a pleasure to shoot. But the ones I love the most are the AAA Evols! What an amazing build and a sensational trigger! Currently own a mini and a magnon both in .30 . But I hope to add another Evol in .22 in the near future!

Thanks again for letting me in this beautiful community!

Hello @Eckhearth - welcome to the HAM Community! I think many members would be interested to hear from you about airgun shooting in the Netherlands.

What are the power and/or caliber limitations in your country? Can you hunt with airguns? etc.

Thank you very much for the welcome!

In the Netherlands we don’t have power or caliber limitations. Dutch airgunners are in general very happy with this! But we are not aloud to hunt with our airguns. there might be some exceptions when you are “
‘hunting’ ( pest control ) at your own perimeter, but I am not familiar with them… To be fair I only shoot at metal and paper targets.

Welcome to a fantastic platform.

As @CTAirgunner knows, I don’t own any AAA, but I am working on my collection that is nearing a dozen. My collection is made up of 2 AEA’s .25 Element, .25 Varmint… 2 FX .25 Impact M3, .22 Dreamline… 4 Benjamin’s .22 Akela, .177 Akela, .22 PRod, .357 Bulldog, 2 GAMO break barrels and a 1322 Crosman.

I aquired my first PCP in ‘21 and have been knee deep in em ever since. This year will mark my debut in trying my hand at field target and 50 yard bench rest. I’ve competed in 1 competition so far and had a great time.

Again, welcome aboard.
