I got into them myself this year even though my range is always open. I have a rifle range at my hunting camp and go there one or two times a week. In fact, I just loaded my SUV up with four guns and I'm heading out in the morning. I never owned an airgun, not even as a kid. I shot competitions all my life with rifle, handgun, shotgun, and archery, but never even tried an airgun. Looking for something new to do, I did a lot of research and jumped into a PCP air rifle in .22cal. It's a Daystate Regal Huntsman XL, made in England. This thing is amazingly accurate. It rivals my Anschutz out to fifty yards and is very capable of shooting five shot groups under .5" center to center at that distance. Like a .22lr, it was an exercise finding which pellet (think projectile) it preferred for best accuracy. A lot of them shot good, some very good, and a couple were just outstanding. The fit and finish of this gun is also superb. I can't believe I've been missing out on these things for all these years. They simply aren't your old Daisy Red Rider. They're a hoot to shoot.
