I've been zapped by the addiction. In the last 3 months I've purchased the following: Daisy Avanti 753 Walther CP88 Tactical Air Pistol Walther CP99 Nickel Air Pistol Daisy Avanti 747 Walther PPK BB Gun (with blow back action) Ruger KMKIII512 I'm actually thinking about selling a couple of the air p...

I'm 36 years old, so enrolling in high school to join a target shooting club might not be the best route. :) Then again, I always said.... If I could do it all over again I'd do many things differently! :D I've found that Madison doesn't seem as friendly toward shooting sports just based on how vari...

That's a bit out of my price range for a beginner. :) I got a good deal on a KMKIII512 and I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Just one more toy for my wife to roll her eyes at. :)

I'm interested in purchasing a .22 auto pistol that I can use for competition once I acquire something resembling skill. I was thinking about a Ruger as they seem fairly common and not overly expensive. Can anyone suggest some sources for pistols with better prices than the local Gander Mountain? :)...

I wish I had like-minded friends. It seems as though I always develop the desire to participate in hobbies that are unpopular or of no interested to my friends. I guess I need new friends! :D

A thread for beginners could prove the be very valuable. Yes, one could search the numerous threads for information, but having a thread that serves as a repository for frequently asked questions and must-know facts could be beneficial in many respects. The sticky thread with it's compilation of fac...

I'd like to learn more about competitive air rifle and I was wondering if anyone could recommend any other websites, books, DVDs, magazines, etc to help me learn more about this sport? Thanks a lot!

Has anoyone thought of creating a thread that can be pinned at the top of the section that goes over the basics a beginner would need to know? Common questions, overview of the different categories of rifles, the various formats for competition, etc? I would think something like that would be very u...

What exactly is a "precision" air rifle. Are we talking rifles like the Anschutz and Feinwerkbau? I'm embarrassed to admit that I thought the Avanti 753 was a precision air rifle. Seems to be quite a learning curve in this sport. :)

Okay, so this brings me to another question. What are the various air rifle formats and what kind of equiptment do each require?

Sporter?

10 Meter?

Precision?

3P = 3-Position?

What is the most common/easy to find form of air rifle competition?

Thanks

Sounds like good advice. I have a nasty habit of trying to run before I can walk. Patience isn't one of my better qualities. I'd like to join a club, but I'm not having much luck locating a club for air rifles. It might not count for much, but I've qualified for the NRA Air Rifle Qualifications up t...

Hello, I'm interested in competing in air rifle competitions and I've recently purchased a Daisy Avanti 753 rifle. I realize that it's not the best rifle in the world, but it was in a reachable price range. I'm wondering if there is a better sight set that isn't overly expensive that would be a dece...
