I use a springers more of a challenge with springers just bought my first PCP for a more relaxed approach nothing serious still have one pistol for rainy days ,When I first started there was not a great choice of pellets or airguns in general and you shot for fun was not really a sport which today it is.But for me shooting relax,s me and give me something to do have met some great guys and learnt a lot as I have retired, where as in the early sixtys it was what lads did and boys played with the girls
