Not to dampen your spirit, but what is airgunning?

I've got an RWS Diana 350 magnum. Wicked powerful for an airgun and I can legally shoot it in my suburban backyard.

I suggest that you add ‘banglist’ to the thread keywords.
There is no airgun ping list that I know of, but the shooters on the banglist can usually help.

Been having an old Benjamin pump air rifle (.22cal 800 ft/sec) and pump air pistol (.22cal 500 ft/sec) for 30 years. Great for cheap target practice in the backyard.
Keeps you sharp and makes sure you aren't picking up any bad habits.

I was an airgunner a long time ago, but I never thought of it as fun or a hobby. Okay, maybe once in a while firing a fifty from a 46 was a bit invigorating.

The 1250 Gamo my oldest borrowed would get it out there at 1600 FPS .177 with the new pellets.

Webley Vulcan .22. It will kill with a well-placed shot, and no need for silencers.

The first repeating rifle was an airgun.
American Rifleman October 2006 issue had a good wrire up about it on page 67.
“The Airgun of Meriwether Lewis”.
It paid a large roll in the Lewis and Clark expedition!

Good place to start about Captain Lewis's medicine gun.

I pop off few rounds in the back yard now and then when I can't get out to shoot firearms. The distance is only 40 feet so I use this:

.

And here's the place to shop: Airguns of Arizona (fifty cents apiece for Crosman CO2 cartridges).
