Hi! My name is Travis and I am a new airgun owner.

I was given my first airgun, a dual barrel 177/22 (495f/s) Beeman Black Panther for Christmas.

The problem is I can't find anywhere to try it out. The closest club, Waterloo rod and gun says no air guns and I can't find anywhere to go with it or my new gas 177 pistol I just bought.
If anyone knows anything please let me know, thanks!

Hi Travis, welcome to the forum.

A lot of farmers/ranchers need pest control if that is what you are into?

Hello Travis. Living in that "neck of the woods" today and wanting to shoot anything, is tough.
Like YepYep says, need to visit and ask some farmers about shooting on their land, pesting, etc.
How old are you?

Hi Travis.

I noticed that your airgun is 495 fps so it is not pal rated.

You don't have to go to a club to shoot. You just need a proper pellet trap, either a box with two or three layers of thick denim curtains or a padding of electrical putty (look on the internet) and you can shoot in your garage or basement.

Don't miss a chance to enjoy your toy.
