And in the UK, there are Air Gun Nuts.

1. And in America...we pontificate on things we have no clue about...

Really-Airgun nuts....
Well they are an enthusiastic bunch. And they have a rich history of sport using those airguns .

I'm an enthusiast & rebuild airguns as a hobby. The main sport use in England is for "Field Target". It's a proper good tough game. There are points given for "knock down" of steel targets that fall over when hit in a small hole in the center. Some targets have holes as small as 1/4" most less than 1". These are shot at from sitting/standing & various positions. Then there is wind & many other factors that make this game harder than golf to get "perfect" at.

I love the sport. And it's a shame that a good game as Field Target would get maligned here on DU...

Look it up-Really.

BTW-They have a strict 12 ft lb power maximum. We yanks have a 20 ft lb limit for competition. And in most areas there are no restrictions on power.

So puhleeeeze-leave it alone or get educated.

And I'm a tree huggin liberal as always. Just enjoy the Field Target game & if you have not tried it-Don't knock it.
