I keep mine listed in my signature, along with date of purchase. I had a fever for purchasing for a while, and then my shooting was reduced by weather and the police knocking on my door. For about 2 years I was shooting in the yard as a break daily from my computer grind (my day job was computer oriented, and I do work from home, also in computers), and then I was relegated to the garage... I had fantasies of moving to a place where I could shoot outside again... and then lost my day job which might have afforded the change. I have nicer guns now, I shoot less, and work even harder to make up for what I lost. When it all evens out, I've got great shooters to look forward to, and some projects as well when I find some leisure.

Cheap chinese guns sparked my interest, and some awesome tuning by Gene refined my pleasures. I'll find a way this spring!

As for myself...I have only 8 but I'm still lookin"! I just added a .22 and the the other seven are .177.  My wife, bless her heart, just looks at me and shakes her head when she sees what I'm checking out on the gun sites. I'm a firearm hunter/shooter from way back and grew up with guns around the home. All the farmers that had a groundhog problem have either moved away or passed away so I really have no-where to go shoot as I used to do. My airguns solved that problem in a great way. my garage is a good place to shoot in Winter while my backyard works well the rest of the year. I'm retired so I have plenty of time to shoot. Now that Spring has finally arrived in Missouri, I'll be doing a lot more.. I'm pretty sure that I'm not finished finding more airrifles that I just have to have! Addicted? You bet. Sorry? Not a chance!

You know Gerald,



This string may never end !



Since I posted my "secret" number of air guns, my collection, stash, or hoard has grown by two fine air rifles !



I hope that the buying of air guns subsides for awile, at least long enough for me to get to understand and enjoy my new acquisitions !



But since I posted that I have reached the end of my "Short List", my eyes have been wandering toward a IZH 46M ! This is a terrible addiction !!!!
