Oxon88 Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hi Dave I'm not a member but shot there yrs ago with a member using pistols both rimmy & centre fire in the quarry. Yep I would like to come over sometime, just PM me. On the estates it all a bit ristricted by the keepers but we could meet up and see, could give you a drive around. We are soon going to be busy with quad-dogging trying to hold the birds. Saturday I should be off to Stratford to pick up my sons new bike a XT660R, as he had only just passed his test it was a case of Dad could you 'test drive' it for me - no prob son In truth I hadn't rode a big bike for many many yrs - ended up with a near 'out of body experience' - modern injection bike engines. Met him up around the corner from the shop and gave him a ride on the back - pulled a 'wheelie' (by mistake). Being ristricted for him - and for safety insisted he puts me down as a named rider on his insurance Ok sounds good, would be nice to arrange a meet up somtime. I am usually over the club on sunday mornings. Id definitly like to see your estate, if its not too much hassle ovcourse Good luck with the bike testing! I'm a biker myself, been riding a while now. love my kawasaki zx6r Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conygree Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) HI Oxon 88 off tomorrow to pick up my son's XT660R - (bit odd on numbers the R - model is in x-country spec & the X- model is the super moto road bike). There we go x2 factors in common - bikes & guns, I'm a bit out of touch on modern bikes, once you have been into bikes it never leaves you. My son is well impressed with your 'Ninja' - do you go into the 'Crown & Tuns' as my son works there some nights? Maybe around Sunday morning but having problems sleeping at the moment = puppy. Another all black working cocker but this one doesn't like being on it's own, so is up stairs and like a baby is up every few hours, so we are dogged out. I will PM you my details and maybe meet up soon. Conygree Edited September 3, 2010 by Conygree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxon88 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Just a quick thank you to Conygree, for taking time to show me around his permission yesterday evening. It was a real treat and I enjoyed it greatly. He's a really nice chap! Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoogins Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hi all, Just a quick message to say hi - I am based next to Wallingford (Brightwell) and work near Reading. I've been to Churchills shooting ground and another near Oxford for a couple of clay lessons. Just picked up a FX Cyclone for my birthday thats coming this week after missing my old Webley PCP. I used to be a member of Marlow gun club a few years ago but stopped as headed off to university! Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoogins Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 anyone know of any decent places to fill up dive bottles? The place in Didcot closed down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxon88 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 try http://www.oxforddivecentre.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoogins Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi- cheers went there today and they tried to fill it but there were some issues: 1. They said the valve was broken as the valve shut when they try to fill it- I think this might be to do with a non-balanced valve? 2. They did not seem too keen with carbon bottles Anything else in the area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucky Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I have used www.theguncentre.co.uk (Swindon) but its a drop off and pick up next week so he must take them somewhere else. You local to Didcot then ? I am Wantage, however I now go to Maidenhead to work so just pop in and get mine filled when I'm there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoogins Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 yep in Brightwell -just down from Wallingford/Didcot. Could I have the name of the store in Madenhead? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucky Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Certainly - Sheephouse Shooting Supplies Sheephouse Road Maidenhead S16 8HJ Tel - 01628 771446 www.sheephouseshootingsupplies.co.uk Fill your cylinder / bottle while you wait. Its in a fairly posh residential area, took me a couple of drivebys to find it but I think they now put a sign out. Only other place is Ottmoors in Deddington - they has a 2 stage compressor, but might be worth double checking he will fill while you wait.

Hucky Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Too late !! Or......... you could join Wantage Target Shooting Club and fill your gun up when you shoot their indoor range ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elma Fud Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hi all, I also live in Abingdon. What are your thoughts of meeting up one evening for a drink or two - soon, before the crops start to come. EF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordfowler Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hi folks - another Oxford boy here. Shoot around the Witney area and of coarse as you can see I am a keen wildfowler. So if any of you fancy a day on the Wash later this year drop me a PM and we'll see what we can arrange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_haganizer Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Oxfordshire lad here as well.... Just outside Faringdon.. Don't really shoot anymore as I am at uni (so can't keep a gun there..) But if anyone wants to go clays and let me a gun :unsure: or fishing.. I'm well sorted for that! Robo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordfowler Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 anyone know of any decent places to fill up dive bottles? The place in Didcot closed down Otmoor guns in Deddington. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
