One of "Your" air rifles..

[Mortblanc]

I am not inclined to stretch out the range on the air guns past the 35 yard mark since that is the limit of my garden space and I am using the air guns as the source of unlimited shooting in climate controlled conditions.

The little .177 pellet makes more noise when it smacks the steel plate I use as a target backer than the rifle makes. The Gauntlet is almost as quiet but not quite and the Diana cracks like a .22 rim fire, so I shoot it very little, only when the close neighbors are gone from home.

The local shooting range is still handy for using the cartridge rifles. But there is no air conditioner, or heater, and sometimes the rain blows under the shelter, and I have to unload all that gear, rifles, ammo spotting scopes, tripods.

It is a whole lot of work being retired and devoting our entire life to keeping up your toys.
