Hi, was going to get a firearms licence, when I saw the price of ammunition I decided to get a slug gun instead. Best decision I've made in years, perhaps decades.
Got a refurbished Ruger Air Hawk in May, then a second hand Weihrauch HW97K .177 in July, and a Shooting Chrony Beta last week. There's a .22 barrel for the Air Hawke coming from Mike Melick, along with a new spring, an assortment of top hats, guides and liners to experiment with different configurations, seals and shims, and a modded trigger. Still deciding between Jim Macarri, Vortech, Welsh Willy or V-Mach for the 97. Just a one piece Nikko-Sterling scope mount for her so far, but that will get upgraded when I get a field target suitable scope. I don't know if I'm saving any money, but I'm having one helluva good time. cheers everybody |

I'm a collector more than a shooter-always have been. The amazing mechanisms different makers devise to shoot missiles(and avoid infringing other people's patents) never cease intrigue me.Airgun ephemera also pushes my buttons. Odd or unusual,new or old.I always have an eye out for rare airguns!
It is the BEST way to grow old,I reckon. http://www.cinedux.com/ Edited by cinedux - 20 Aug 2013 at 9:55pm |

Welcome Beanzz, nice to have you here. if you have any questions just ask! :)
Good idea shooting the cans on a string... (wondering why i never thought of that lol) beats walking 40+ meters each time to re-stack them :) |

Welcome on board Beanzz, shame about the knees but good to see they still work enough to cart you around after bunnies and tin cans :)
Some of the South Island shooters get me jealous with the amount of quarry they have on hand, it almost seems endless :) |

Hi all. I am new to airgunning and enjoy reading all the info. that is posted.
I am fortunate to live in Otago near the Roxburgh dam, and am surrounded by orchards with lots of rabbitts. I am an Ambo officer and have worked in ski patrol for many years [during winters] The knees are now creaking ! , hence me taking up this hobby. I have 2 cheap..ish guns but will look at selling them to upgrade a good quality one next year, in the meantime, i am serving my time gaining skills shooting at tin cans on a string @ 35 meters, and paper targets in a garden shed with an open door at 25 meters ,as well as a few rabbits! Thanks for all your future posts.

The more active everyone decides to be the more this will come alive. I have put links on other forums, and the nzafta Wordpress site.
Don't be shy newbies, we won't bite :) |
