How Did You Get Into Airguns ?

[Dogowski]

My dad gave me a Daisy BB gun when I was 4 years old. That would have been around 1956 or 57.

What a great dad!

Ya, right up to when I didn't latch the cocking lever back up and smashed my middle finger. Dang that hurts. Blood all over the place.

Ouch man! I forgot about that happening on these BB guns. Super dangerous and could lead to a trip to the hospital.

My father had a old 760 crosman pump. It would've been in the mid seventies. He would let me shoot it and I graduated to borrowing it until I could buy my own. I was around 16 when I bought my first it was a crosman .22 pump, I forget the model number. I've been hooked on airguns my whole life, I still shoot daily. Gave my great nephew a daisy model 80 last Sunday. Our shooting session consisted of shooting flys at 10 or 12 feet off a box with some food smeared on it. Great back yard fun.

Welcome to the forum Honzo! That's what it's all about man. Whether is ten minutes or a few hours it's the best stress relief for most of us here on the forum. There's just no better fix than shooting our airguns!
