To me it’s about closing the circle as a collector.
Research & history, pride of ownership, servicing them (taking them apart and to see how they work and get them working at their best) and then seeing how accurately they deliver a pellet down range, as after all, that’s what they were designed for.
That’s the full circle for me.
Take out any of those four things and I wouldn’t enjoy it so much.
Even if a group is the size of a dinner plate, I think shooting them is still an important part of the process. I appreciate not everyone is into shooting them though.
Cheers,
Matt
