    Airguning in Puerto Rico

    I'm trying this out because there is little info on the sport of airguns in Puerto Rico.  Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the U.S. located in the Caribbean.  Although small we have 3.5 million inhabitants.  Airguning is a sport that until recently did not have a great following.  In 2000 the new weapon laws came into effect that took all but a few restrictions on airgun.  Because of the strict gun laws on the island, airguns became a viable way to practice shooting in you back yard for a fraction of the cost.  Let’s jump to 2005-2006, when a group of avid shooters decided to start practicing the sport of Field Target.  Still in its infancy the Puerto Rico Field target Association is trying to promote the sport and hopefully take it to a national level here on the island.  We have our fist competition of 2007 on the 21st of January at the El Naranjal target range in Aguada PR.  I'll keep you posted on the outcome and the progress of this sport here on our beautiful Island.
