Others wow, who knew this sport was so vast

I never knew growing up around air guns that there was so much they have to offer. back then it was just a plinking thing to be used on bottles and cans. And now I see you can hunt big game with the right ones. So many options and accessories.

I use airguns where other fire arms would just not be a best choice airguns fit the bill beutifuuuuly

I didnt even consider hunting with one. especially big game. And being a ex felon in michigan a air gun or blackpowder is all we are allowed to own outside of archery. so it brings back my ability to hunt deer without breaking any laws.

Yip it depends on where you live as far as big game hunting with air power goes. Here in Sounthern Ontario i can buy a 50cal texan but it's shotgun only for almost all hunting. Bird to deer, shotgun only.... Silly. I do see lots of PB folks switch over more and more to air, I feel PBs are cool but they have hit a wall. (And that's fine!) but airguns and ammo are ever advancing at the moment. The only thing that I could complain about is how looks/ergonomics don't matter to alot of the manufacturers, they just pump something out and hope it's ok.

I could never have imagined it would become what it is today. I recall owning a BB gun, a Daisy Wild Bill, when I was around 10 or 12 years old. Now, at 64, I was introduced to break barrels and, a month later, to PCPs. Nowadays, PCPs possess enough power to take down any animal in North America. Like many of us from the older generation, I started out shooting birds at 10 yards.

Silent ground squirrel assassinations can only happen with quiet Airguns.
