davyt63 1,845 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 hi i started with a gat gun then went for a Diana Sp50 used to shoot starling in the garden great pistol then my older brother gave me his .22 break barrel can't remember what it was called. was so impressed that i showed it to a mate of mine and my bro left it loaded and i was panning a guy { my mates dad on his push bike } and said this is how you do it pulled the trigger and hit the cyclist had the police round the lot. all air rifles banned from the house then some twenty years later have got back in to it 3 years ago and i am enjoying it very much only had one other hobby that i felt so passionately about and that was photography and the 1990s recession took that away from me had to sell it to put food on the table so bring on the next recession lol regards davy Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I'm 30 now, first had a shot of my dads BSA Mercury when I was god knows when, must have been younger than 10, so I'll say I've been shooting around 20 years. The first gun I used to take out hunting, was my dads HW35e, when I was around 14-15. I used to take the air rifle when my dad used to go out with the shotgun & spaniel. The first gun I owned myself, was a Gat that my dad bought me to plink in the garden with. Got the works with it, corks, pellets & darts! Quote Link to post

tote 856 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I'm 43, when I was about 11-12 my mate had a Diana .177 pistol which we used to shoot darts into his dartboard. I got my first air rifle at 17 an Original 45 in .22 calibre. There were no scopes on it just the iron sights but that gun must have put paid to hundreds of branchers every year in the local rookery.

Simoman 110 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Gat guns, crikey I had a couple of those, darts, corks and pellets wasn't it? Got air pistols when I was about 9 and progressed to air rilfles and kept them until i was 21 when we had a break in and my gear was stolen. Didn't have another air rifle until about 4 years ago. I'm 35, so I guess about 16 years of shooting air rifles but I also used to shoot handguns and I have a shotgun. Quote Link to post

Guest hyperion Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 im thirty one and ive been shooting air guns since about fifteen when my parents moved from southend to a little village on the blackwater estaury and i started going round a mates house to blat a few tin cans! both my parents are anti's! anti gun, anti killing for fun (as they see it), anti fishing, just down right anti!, though my mother has grown to understand shooting and hunting and doesnt mind what i do theys days the old man is still unmoved in his fuzzy logic!, though he has no problem with me shooting rats! i got my first proper air rifle a week after my seventeenth birthday (cant even remember what it was now) and proceeded to do a lot of thing that im still ashamed of today, some how i learnt respect along the way and these days i try to make up for my crimes against nature with a passion for shooting magpies! cheers hyperion Quote Link to post
