so the other day wife and i were driving back from an afternoon with an out of town friend. instead of sitting in rush hour traffic, we decided to drop by a guy i havent seen in ages (an old racing buddy of mine). this guy is a die hard burner guy. after all the hellos and catching up, he starts showin me his newest guns. nice stuff, but not my thing. i just "happened" to have the Logun and the Super Streak in the trunk, so out i go to get them. bring them inside, he seems unimpressed, but was nice about it. he lives in a secluded area, so i suggest we go out back and shoot a few pellets. him with the SS and me with the Logun . first off hes wayyyyyyy impressed with the power of the SS and how quiet the Logun is. he got hooked on the SS, as it was such a challenge for him to shoot accurately. we ended up goin thru about 1000 pellets before we ran out of light.
he called me this morning to invite me over for a BBQ today, so long as i bring some AGs, and to pick my brain about some good adult AGs.... hes got the bug!!!

It isn't hard to get hooked! this site is living proof of that. I was outside shooting dollar store soldiers yesterday and what a rip that was, after a few shots I was knocking the hell out of them. next bbq stop by the dollar store and he'll definately be hooked

The only shooters that don't like airguns are the uneducated ones. I firmly believe that. Seems to me that almost every adult airgunner who gets into/goes back to "firearms" proper never gives up on airguns, and sometimes- just sometimes if the wind is blowing just right you can hear the words "Rosebud... Rosebud..." -but I digress ( Wink

), anyways- sometimes you can find a convert and bring them over to the "fun side" where they don't spend mega-bucks on ammo and break their shoulders to have a little fun shooting.

Good job in any event... Very Happy

I'm sure you didn't forget to take them out...

And Sniper, you spent $2500 because airguns don't do much against more "human like" targets...

Good job there Dummy. It's nice to have new addicts.

"airguns don't do much against more "human like" targets... "

See, when I mention to my friends that I'm into air gunnning, they have this same exact attitude. Heck, even my ex pulled a no brainer the other days. She dropped by with the lil one, without calling first. I had my 2300kt set up to do targets in the house. Lil one goes running towards it and I jump on it before she gets to it...ex is like, "oh that's just an air gun, couldn't hurt anybody..." OY!!!!

I'm glad DR brought someone else into the brother hood of AGing, but we really need to do something about this "toy" issue that folks have. Yet do it such a manor the anti any gun crowd don't jump on them at the same time.

I think Fritz only owns one airgun, and has only shot it twice...

Ya, old Mosins can sell for $100. Usually not the most attractive or accurate guns either.

I won't argue (because I know I'm right), that everything has a place in the gun world. You don't take your minigun squirrel hunting and you don't take the .22 condor into battle (unless against squirrels).

And DR, you ex is an idiot, that 2300 could really hurt one of the kiddies.

There used to be an old famer around here who used his shotgun to scare people away from his fields. That was back in the old days of '95. Mr. Green

Most anyone (males at least) would be infatuated with airguns, especially if they are powder burner lovers. Usually the limiting factor is just that they haven't been exposed to airguns.

A just showed a friend of mine my airshotgun, right after I blasted a bird with it. He probably wouldn't have thought it was as cool unless he'd seen the aftermath of what it did to that bird. When people see the results, they take airguns seriously. When they just think of them abstractly as bb guns, then they lose their appeal.
