    Not sure why I lurked so long but Im here now..

    Hey all, Ive been a visitor here for years on and off and Ive crossed paths with many of you over the years.
    Ive been a moderator and admin on other local and international shooting forums for a decade but thought it's time to spend more time with the local boys.

    About me: Ive been a keen hunter, varminter and all round shooter for 35 years and also do a bit of smithing and and tinkering in a home based workshop.
    I have shot competitively in the past but really just prefer tinkering my toys to perfection now and blasting critters from challenging ranges.
    I am an avid reloader and often called a ballistics geek, always striving for that perfect load and group.

    I have been very involved in the world of pneumatic airguns for about 15 years and have been a dealer and service agent for a few years too. I have enjoyed pushing the boundaries of the PCP industry and been heavily involved in its recent evolution of technology with testing reviewing and prototyping of various brands. I joined here to share more in the powder burning world so that's all for now about air but if you are interested in the slightest to know more, just google Wingman airguns or Airborne Arms co.

    I look forward to getting to know a few more of you and sharing a few of my builds when I get time.

    Welcome along.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out
