For me, I think I fit somewhere between collector and tinker. My skill level doesn't quite make me a tinker but then again, I do like to shoot as well....but not in an organized event or anything like that.

I 'spose Tinkerer fits as building, modding and converting airguns is a passion. Shooting would be right there for sure cause that is the whole purpose behind guns.

I am an 99.9% indoor 33' shooter because of by-laws around here.
I cannot consider myself a collector ,i have only 21 airguns.
The only things I hunt ,are house flies and spiders indoor without pellet with my Gamo Compact.
And the only thing that i remodeled is the pistol grip on my Gamo Compact.

COMPLETE ANNIHILIATION OF EVERYTHING THAT MOVES !!!

i mean i like to look but not shoot airguns and take care of cute, fuzzy little animals :-)

hunting and some fun aspects of plinking like hitting extremely small objects (toothpicks stuck into trees/fences at 10meters or cans at 70 meters) is definitely my thing

its weird, the poll sais that most hunt, but replies do not have anyone mentioning hunting

I have a violent dislike of rodents, especially all varieties of squirrel and ground squirrel. Thusly I am ever looking for new and better ways to shake the little bastards loose the mortal coil. Airguns, I find, present the most satisfying of the methods for doing the afore mentioned coil shaking. It follows that I shoot my airguns most when they are aimed at small animals and that I would most likely catagorize myself as an airgun hunter.

I guess that I am a hunter with a bit of plinking on the side.Here in the Okanagan we have thousands of Starlings chewing up the cherries,grapes
and picking holes in the larger fruit.Lots of fun popping away at them and sure tunes up my shooting skills for fall hunting season.

I only shoot paper if I'm zeroing in a red-dot. I plink reactive targets under 30 meters - typically 21 m range. I have shot the occasional fly within 4 meters ... does that make me a hunter?? I'm not expected to eat what I kill am I? Because I could just stop shooting them ya know.
