I'm sitting in a waiting.room, bored. So naturally, my thoughts turn to airguns.
And I figured, why not have some fun with another goofy post.
I've created a few "levels" of airgunner types below. Let us know know which one(s) fit you. If none, go ahead and make your own.
1. Basic Shooter - you have one, it keeps the garden clear of woodchucks etc.
You don't really understand why people would waste their pellets shooting cans and other junk. Your favorite color is biege.
2. Hunter and/or Plinker - you have a few, sure, and you enjoy them quite a bit. You have plenty of pellets on hand. You sometimes put "the good cans" etc aside for.shooting later.
You don't live for airguns but you know of a couple of guns you'd like to put on your Christmas list...
3. Super Plinker - OK, now we're talking! You have a constant desire to shoot. To chase smaller and smaller groups. You are always searching for gun deals, pellet deals, optics deals, etc and steadily amassing a dandy collection of airguns. Sure, you may also be an airgun hunter, but if you could never hunt again you'd still be shooting regularly. You probably have some sort of range setup on your property. Maybe even your own compressor.
Often, inexpensive little springers are as dear to you as the big money guns. Basically, you're an airgun romantic.
4. Airgun Aficionado - Much like a Super Plinker, but prefers top shelf stuff. Searches for deals on top tier Airguns. Won't buy cheap pellets for their guns. Has a Springer, but it's a Weirauch, or Air Arms. Chases accuracy incessantly, and saves to buy what suits their fancy rather than "adding another one to the safe". Is willing to let one go if it doesn't live up to expectations.
5. Competitor / Perfectionist - a.k.a, "The Man with One Gun".
Focused. Driven. Committed to the pursuit of human and mechanical perfection. "One hole" groups aren't good enough for this shooter. Same Hole groups are what they are after. Once achieved, they push for longer and longer ranges.
Dedicated to a single platform (don't call it a gun newbie), they only upgrade once they have wrung every last speck of accuracy from it. You may never see them shooting spinners at your local range, but the big time retailers know who they're big time shooters. Because they are In It To Win It!
6. Airgun Nut - you have airguns on the brain, plain and simple. You stopped trying to set a.budget for your acquisitions years ago. You assume that you're going to tune every gun that comes your way before you even see it.
Buying guns now to shoot once you retire, the way Ralfy bunkers Scotch. You're deep into the obscure stuff, and have a room in your home dedicated to airguns. At least.one, anyway...
7. Airgun Loon - basically, you're the reincarnation of Robert Beeman without having a retail airgun operation to cover your "quirky" fixation on all things airgun.
Did I say quirky? I meant unstable, unhinged lunacy. You are crackpot...! Weido, freak, nut job, etc. And I salute you.
Well, there you go.
Where do you fit in? I feel like I'm in Super Plinker category myself...
Are you trying to get me re-classified Matthias?It seems like we'd need categories of
● Hunter Aficcionado (high end gear for hunting, specializes in certain quarry and does so with "high end" effectiveness/efficiency)
and
● Hunter Nut (they have hunting on their brains — NUTS about hunting)
(with "pesting" a particular type of "hunting".)
The Hunter Nut:
Everything they do that is non-hunting —
e.g., target practice, learning proficiency with night vision, long range shooting and ballistics, entering the slug circus —
is for the explicit purpose of more effective/efficient killing.
They see quarry everywhere they go, or they see possible hiding places for quarry everywhere.
Example: As they walk to their car, they point to a rooftop in the distance, and say to their puzzled companion: "3 pigeons, right corner of flat roof, about 150 yards."
Ask me how I know....

I am uncertain as I am a hunter, but I do hit steel targets from 40 to 230 yards. My PCPs are finely tuned for both power and accuracy.I'm sitting in a waiting.room, bored. So naturally, my thoughts turn to airguns.

Now thats what I'm talking about! I wish i had more room to stretch out my targets. Im stuck on my property at a measly 30 yards! 230 yards is an awesome distance your shooting at. Nice!
Maybe. But what does the lady boss say???
LOL
she might, but I am all in for TEN : )
Thank you, every time I go there, I take pictures of the overlook because it's on a mountain along with the shooting range. I am very, very lucky, I also hunt coyotes there.
