Most people will ask us guys why do you need so many guns, what's your answer.

I don't need so many, only one that works great, but the crosmantis bug hits and says, "buy it, buy it". And I just can't help myself. And the next thing I know I'm hitting the buttons and POOF! I have spent more money on an air gun I don't really need. It's just the OBSESSION to have more. And there is no known cure. ??? ??? ??? ???
We need to keep going and have fun doing it.

Very nice collection Duck i think i might be responsible for some of the guns you bought and the other way around. That's another thing someone posts a really nice gun and everyone wants one it is a sickness  ;D and there is no cure. I also thinks it's cool when it takes 20 minutes to decide what gun/guns to shoot. Even the cheap replicas are a blast to shoot no hunting or target shooters but still fun to shoot cans and bottles.

"For the very same reason some folks collect coins, hummels, stamps, quilts ect.  I like them.  Plus I can shoot them.  Why do you ask?"

Nice collection Duck!!!

My wife and I use that slogan with the "I" swapped with a "We"... BWC. Its is a very unique club that only a few of our friends can join as the kids are grown, no pets, dual income and we do what ever we want, when we want :-*

But in there lies the challenge to "control" my urges as I have the means and it is only $50 here, $100 there... but it does add up. And this forum does nothing but fuel it :D

   I tell people I collect air guns like people that buy fishin lures that NEVER see any water, but I shoot mine.    There is this little voice in the back of my mind that says Go buy more Go buy MORE and I can't help myself. It's like a drug habbit, when you get started you just can't stop! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Agreed even my wife said that once i asked if she had a problem with me spending money on guns and other things like knives, coins and so on. She said you work for it spend it how you want and at least your not in the bar every night.

I have several because each gun has it's own specific purpose. For instance, my Diana 34 scoped out is great to target shoot with from the bench, but too heavy to carry in the field all day. So, an un-scoped 34P is light enough to walk with all day, and accurate enough to hunt squirrels with. My 13XX carbine is light, compact, maneuverable, and accurate, so it goes with me anytime my truck leaves home. It is a general knock around plinker/brush gun. These are just a few examples of why one is just not enough to fit the bill.

alot of people laugh at my bb gun collection until i out shoot them and their powder burners or break out the condor and put holes in a 2x4. and i just shot twice as much as them for 1/2 the price. then they start to realize the fun in it. my wife just makes fun of me no matter what. she never will get it. my kids love to shoot with me and the fact i have built them all their own custom guns.  :-*
