In the late 90's when my father went home working from abroad he gave us his children gold necklaces and I thought it would be my opportunity to buy my own air gun because I do wanted and itching to target practice or hunt with it with small creatures like birds and eat them too.

And so I pawned my gold necklace never intending to take it back again and I also pawned my gold ring that I found in the heap of garbage where we burn our garbage. So after that I headed to the gun shop and bought my very own air gun.

Fortunately what I bought is a very accurate type of airgun that can be used to target specific points on what you intend to shoot.So it gave me a very good experience because of its accuracy although I have no more money to buy a telescope for it.

I am still stupid though because I even used steel or iron metal as a ballistic bullet so it shaved some of the rifling but it is still accurate and never lost its accuracy.

Then after that after I had collected little funds I bought an airshotgun but at that time my body is starting to weaken and I am also suffering from my anemia so walking is proving to get difficult plus I have no friends with similar hobby and so I never used my shotgun but only a few times.

Then it broke and I planned to fix it, I was able to dismantle it and kept it and then it just got stored indefinitely because I have no more energy to get it fixed anymore as it needs some welding and i cannot do it anymore.

I had some great times with my airgun and I wished that I can again relive those times where at least I can do some shooting and have fun at target practice with cans, birds, and fishes in the stream near our home here.

I too had many fun times with my airgun. Good hobby.

My boys used to have airguns and I also loved shooting at the cans.
It was so much fun, since we made it almost like a competition.

Hope that one day, you will be able to enjoy your hobby again, dear friend.
