Anyway, yes - the "fun parts". This would be a great time for any of you feeling too cooped up to get started in the wonderful world of air guns. Quality entry level guns are cheap. Ammo is damn near free, and there is never a run on it. Most people have enough room to shoot them, even in a small apartment. There are cheap and effective bullet traps that will capture all of the pellets, stopping them with no threat to the neighbors whatsoever.

If you are like me and already somewhat into firearms, the quality of the better air guns is sure to please. These are not cheap toys by any means. Their quality of manufacture and their accuracy are on a par with any "real" firearm. And the amount of practice you can get in, right there in the comfort of your own home, will pay clear dividends when shooting "real" guns. There just isn't a downside to any of this.

For those of you who don't even like guns, give this a try. A couple hundred bucks will get you an eminently serviceable air gun (even with a scope if you want one), thousands of rounds of ammo, targets, and a target trap. That's all you need. Oh, and some eye protection, because we never shoot without it. You can kill hours playing with these things. It really is a real hoot - try it. I bet you wind up liking it.

I’m actually pretty excited about getting my hands on some new airguns here. I had a few pellet guns and pistols when I was a kid, decades ago, but nothing like what is out there today. These are the real deal! I think I might dive in to the PCP world, I need a new hobby to consume my time!
