My Twin Sister

[quickster47 †]

While visiting my mother this past week and spending Mother's Day with her I finally introduced my twin sister to shooting airguns.  I had taken a couple of 2240s because they travel well and are easy to use.  And of course since my mother loves one block off main street in the downtown area, what there is of it, I had to make sure they were both neighbor friendly.

Well, to say the least she absolutely loved shooting them and wanted to know about getting one of her own for some backyard plinking in Georgia and maybe dispatching a few tree rats that have overrun her back yard.

So being the big brother that I am, a full two minutes older than her, I gave her one of mine for her upcoming birthday this Sunday.  She was tickled pink and couldn't wait to show her husband her new prized possession.  The only problem is, now I need to get another 2240 to keep as a spare.  Oh well, I guess I can definitely handle that chore.

The only one who was not pleased was my mother.  But I figure in a couple of weeks she won't remember anything about it.

Cool deal Carl and an early happy birthday to you too.

What a nice older brother you are, potentially creating another Crosman airgun addict. She probably went home and ordered two more. And this was probably all a ploy just to have to build a new 2240 for yourself. . All jokes aside, your a good big bro. Wonder what her husband said when she walked in with it, probably "I need one." Also, happy early birthday to you guys..

Hey, at least now you have an excuse to get another one and start your next build.

^^^^^ That pretty good 
Happy Bday 6 days early Carl, hope you get lots of Crosman stuff...
I'm not surprised your sister had fun shooting (my daughter does), hard not to like something that is accurate, quiet, has no recoil and is powerful. If the rest of the world knew what we airgunners know.......
