    Started shooting air rifle again today

    I sold my RAW over a year ago and just have not been intrested in air guns. I put the big Sightron on the TX200. It just makes shooting more fun. I usually shoot Ram Silhouette @ 45 yds

    Lol, i had some load work and expansion tests for my 35 whelen and .308 mauser i wanted to get done this spring before the summer heat sets in.

    I bought a little 392 benjamin air rifle, and have had so much fun with it, i haven't fired my powder rifles since.
    Guess i need to just take them all to the range at the same time and just make a full day of it.

    Nice scope and rifle you have there.

    I have been shooting more air rifle this year because it is easier.

    I don't have to load the range bag, then it, the guns into the car, drive to the range, unload, setup, and then haul it all back when I am done.

    I setup a 20 foot range in my basement, walk down the stairs, set a target, fire a 5 shot group. Maybe take a shot or 3 at some tacks. Walk upstairs when I am done.

    I also shoot a Beeman P17 from my recliner at a cardboard box 10 feet away.

    I like being able to keep the skills I have sharp and alive. And it does not hurt that all of my air rifles can be shot for around 1 to 1.2 cents per shot. Thats a whole bunch of shooting for a dollar.

    99.99 percent of my shooting is with air . The other .01 is with a .410 . I am limited to 10 - 20 yards right now so my 25 -45 caliber rifles are in storage . And I am shooting my .177 pistols or air soft revolvers at a rate of 400 - 500 shoots a day . Could not afford to do that with a PB .Marvin

    I really enjoy shooting anything. Airguns give you the opportunity to shoot more often. I get the same enjoyment as I do with powder burners
