I’ve been an avid collector of electric airsoft guns and all different types of bb guns for the majority of my life though the last few years have seen my enthusiasm for collecting wane just a bit.  Things like a wedding, the birth of my first child and a promotion at work have eaten up the little free time I once enjoyed.  I still love my air guns mind you, these days it’s just a matter of prioritizing things and my love of collecting and shooting usually falls by the wayside as the family must come first.

Even with all of the new responsibility I have recently taken on, my new neighbor shares the same passion for air and bb guns that I do.  As the last two years have been extremely busy for me I ended up moving all of my guns into storage as I found no time for them, however with my neighbor being so inquisitive as to just how extravagant my collection is I have been bringing a few of my air rifles out to share with him.  I’ll be the first to admit too that his collection dwarfs mine and I’ve always considered myself a hard core fan of bb guns and the like.

After sharing our collections and stories with each other I was invited to shoot with him over in his back yard.  Upon receiving this invitation I took out a few more of my air guns and cleaned them up for the upcoming weekend.  I was pleasantly surprised at how some of my guns had held up over the past two years as I expected them to be much dirtier and in need of quite a bit of work.  This made the process of cleaning them more enjoyable and all that was left was to do was to buy some pellets and bb’s.

Our weekend of bb guns and BBQ came quickly which was nice as I was overly anxious to shoot again. When I arrived my neighbor immediately showed me his back yard and I was flabbergasted at just how much detail he had put into making a makeshift shooting range.  There where of course four shooting posts complete with targets on them, a launcher for clay pigeons, and a row of cans lined up for us to shoot at.  Seeing all of this harkened me back to the days when I had first started collecting as a young teenager.

My neighbor and I spent what felt like an hour, but was actually six hours shooting everything we could get our hands on.  The action stopped only because we both ran out of bb’s and pellets.  I came with two handguns and one air rifle and all three guns got a well deserved work out.  Finding the time to spend a few hours anywhere but my own home is difficult but luckily my wife understands how important something like this to me and so we now have a schedule set up that allows me to partake in my hobby once more, and on a regular basis too!

Scott enjoys collecting not only bb guns but electric airsoft guns as well.

So how do they make it look right?
