Nice! Boy, air rifles have sure gotten high tech since I was a kid. Or were they muskets back then?

I used to shoot on the high school rifle team in the basement of the school. Once football season was over they would clear out the weight room to provide a larger space for an indoor range. Now some snowflake would be triggered if they saw that at school. I shot .22lr match rifles that my parents had used in the 50s when they were in high school.

I was the captain of my high school?s air rifle team.

Thanks for putting that up. I had a riflery PE course in College back in the '80s. We shot air rifles under the concrete bleachers of the football stadium. The repeatable precision in air rifle competition is impressive.

My dad was telling me that back in high school the guys would bring their shotguns into shop class.
For show and tell, making stocks, or other types of things.

I knew someone that took his rifle to grade school and put it in his locker when he got there. He would take the rifle out at the end of the school day and shoot small game on the walk home. That was called "supper".
