My Air Gun Evolution
Like many of you, my first experience with a gun was an air-powered BB gun. As I matured, a fairly high-powered pellet gun was allowed by my parents. (and no Mom, I did not shoot my eye out with it) Rabbits and squirrels were harvested regularly, and some of my most memorable dinners with the Scott clan included game that my air rifle had provisioned for the table. At the same time, my interests were being lured to the “fire” side of firearms, with a steady progression from small-caliber/gauge rifles and shotguns to medium, then larger, and eventually to masochistic weapons like a brutal 500 N.E. double rifle and a 3 ½ “ 10 gauge shotgun for what, I do not know. This was about the time I discovered air again.
