As I reached 66 yesterday and it's been 50 years ago since my dad died on my birthday, what got you into airguns?
As we had a large back garden, Dad grew veg and kept a few chickens. I'm pretty sure it was a BSA Meteor, for pest control, rats, but as far as I can remember, we always had a cat, black or black and white. Dad used to pin a paper target on the coal shed door and we played target shooting with darts, no rebounds! Dad's favorite trick shot was to place a playing card in a slot of the butted wooden door and hit the edge. Try it, it is not as difficult as it seems if you keep both eyes open
I bought my own air rifle, I think around when I was 12ish, a Webley Jaguar. At senior school, in metalwork class, the teacher kept a Webley pistol which a few of us made a target holder and a spinning target. We had great times in his class as it often led to shooting during and after lessons. The next gun I had was the Relum Tornado and, as they say, the rest is history.
