Airgunning on the Internet
If you've reached this blog entry, then it is obvious to me that you have internet access. Perhaps you reached Compasseco's website by simply typing in "airgun" or "bb gun", or some other search term.
There is, indeed, a ton of information available to the public concerning our sport. In this brief blog entry, I wanted to share some of the sites I frequent and enjoy so that you can become a more involved participant in the sport of airgunning.
First of all, some of these websites are child friendly, and some, though not dangerous, are frequented by adults who assume that everyone else on the forum is an adult, as well. Keeping that in mind, you will find a wealth of information available to you if you will just take the time to read up on the subjects that appear there.
www.yellowforum.com - formerly known as James Kitching's Airgun Forum, it is a very active forum that was started by James Kitching before his unfortunate death. You will find quite a few knowledgeable air gunners at this forum, and several points of view on just about any given subject pertaining to airguns. One of the more useful sections that I frequent is the Classifieds section where one can buy or sell airguns. There is also a helpful BOI (Board of Inquiry) section that gives feedback into the honesty of individuals who trade using this classified section. It helps in making a decision when you see how the buyer or seller has treated customers in the past.
The yellow forum also has some more specific areas such as the Chinese Airgun Forum, the Talon forum, the Gamo forum, and a new one called the Discovery forum.....as you can guess from the names, they are geared more specifically than the overall yellow forum.
For you Crosman fans out there, you will find a dedicated Crosman forum at the following address: http://www.network54.com/Forum/275684/
Tons of info on modifying, fixing, or upgrading your Crosman product can be found there. It has its own classifieds section as well, and you'll find lots of helpful people on this forum.
If you are a hunter, I run a forum for airgun hunters at the following address:
http://www.network54.com/Forum/414006/
This forum is dedicated to hunters who use airguns for their weapon of choice. It is a helpful forum that allows one to beg about their hunting prowess, post pictures of their trophies, and ask questions about hunting rules, regulations, what gun is best.....just pretty much anything to do with air gun hunting. It is heavily moderated, and a safe place to bring your children to learn about air gun hunting.
Websites devoted to target shooting and competition can be reached by accessing an information site called Airguns.net. Brad Troyer started this site way back in 1995, and it has links to a wonderful collection of calculators, informations sites, pellet and airgun FAQ's......just lots of neat stuff that will help you gain a further understanding about how air guns are used through out the world.
Don't let the lack of airgunners in your area keep you from learning more about your sport and the particular air gun you enjoy using. There is someone on the net that thinks like you do, and is willing to share their expertise with you. So dive in, read up, and learn all you can to enhance your airgunning experience. And when you've made your decision, drop Compasseco.com to click on the purchase of your choice.
