My very first airgun was a Diana mod2 Gat when I was 11 or 12 and only used it in the garden but my next one was a Diana mod16 smooth-bore rifle and as lads we used to take our guns over the fields and through public woodland shooting at various inanimate and live targets with only limited success although I managed to bag a pigeon once! Later, beyond the 'kid' stage, we progressed through the Cadet Major ranks to Webley Mk3's and Airsporters.
