For firearms most of us have have at least 3 firearms. At least most of us in the USA.
During the American revolution we learned the importance of making sure that everyone can be armed. As we learned that it is possible for a governing body to become oppressive, and the people should always be able to form an independent militia from the resources they already have, when needed in bad times. This does not mean that we are part of a militia already, it just means that if and when the need arises we can form into a needed militia with what we already have. This is recorded by many of the founders of our nation.
And of course some form of hunting arm is kind of important, as it means less reliance on grocer or stockpiles.
Some of us also have some air rifles that we use for small game hunting, these are among our armories. These are a good addition, again those that have them generally have at least three task specific air rifles.
Some also have Bows, Crosbows, and even verious kinds of slingshots. These are very useful as well.
Hunting Definitions As I learned
To limit missunderstanding I should mention the game catagories as I learned them, as some may have learned differently.
Small game is generally up to and including most raccoon, as well as all smaller. Sometimes this is broken down into sub sections.
Medium Sized Game/Mid Size Game is generally from the largest raccoons up to bobcat and coyote.
Big Game is generally everything larger than the other two main categories.
For me the four firearms are?
NOTE: For me exposure to and knowledge of most modern MASS PRODUCED firearms is nearly non existent.
My sidearm is an old Colt .40 cal revolver that stays on my belt anytime I am outside.
My mid range rifle is a .31 cal custom rifle made by my mom for my 14th birthday. Very reliable.
My long range rifles are a pair of matching custom .39 cal 1:18 twist 37 inch barrel rifles made by two of the family gunsmiths (the first by my mom, the second by me as I learned the skill set).
For me the permanent four air guns are?
For general purpose use I have a Crosman Legacy 1000, as it provides the need hunting power, as well as versatility and accuracy. This replaced my Crosman 2100.
For general purpose fun and marksmanship would be the Daisy Powerline 953 TargetPro single pump target rifle.
For stealth carry and hunting at very close ranges is my Crosman 1377. I think this one speaks for itself.
Just so I always have a .22 caliber air rifle the Crosman 2289g is one of my main air rifles.
I have other air rifles, though these are the ones that really count, the most used and the ones I will attempt to always hang onto.
Archery and Slingshots for me?
Unfortunately I am limited as my wheelchair often gets in the way.
One home made 80lb short bow that is just general use.
Two home made slingshots, good for a lot of things.
What are your three firearms? Airguns? Archery?
Which firearms do you prefer, and why them? Which air guns do you prefer and why? Whatever else applies.
There are likely at least a few archers in the bunch.
