rb5037 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Welcome Ben, it's nice for someone to write something about them self. Normaly it's........... "Looking for land, can anyone help?" :lol: Well, i'm not into airguns, although i've shot a few i've never owned one, apart from a gas pistol i still have. Got into shooting through my Dad, he was into shooting and fishing from a very young age and it wore off on me. Shame, i've lost the old ****** do miss him when out in the field. Welcome to pw Ben and enjoy the info. Watch out for the locals though when entering the "pw arms" Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure hes watching you up there when your in the field with a big old smile on his face i have never had a gas pistol? i have always had modded BB guns! hehe! i used to have a scale on that the S>W>A>T team use cant remember the name of it but i put in a garden gate spring in it and i could get yet tight patterns of a 2p coin at around 15meters! open sights! my dad got me into this too even thought he has never owned a airgun but he used to be in the army as a markesmen! its funny how they rub on us!

dunganick Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 (edited) hi ben, welcome to the forum, good luck with the new land.. . With pigs having been there, there should be a fair amount of rats about, rats are some very good airgun sport Edited March 12, 2005 by dunganick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend offered to take me rabbit shooting and ive never looked back since. My wallet has taken a battering since then Plenty of knowlege to be found on this board, stick around All the best Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb5037 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Watch out for the locals though when entering the "pw arms" Just a messing. Pw arms is the chatroom a few of the locals on pw go onto. (pw = pigeonwatch) Go on there after the watershed and you'll see what i mean Happy reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
