Airgunning in NZ

   OK Pauly5, I rejuvenated my face book account and I can't be bothered with all the twaddle that popped up. How do I get to the airgun pages without all the Wannabe friends. I have lost your cell number so if you have mine text me in case the relevant pages are protected from the world.

	I have texted you. Search my name on facebook and I should get it, then I can invite you to any groups I am in. You can also search for New Zealand Air Gunners and ask to join. If all goes well you will be accepted. There are rules of engagement that are monitored so you can't go getting stroppy or try and sell stuff.

	Nova, See if you can search my name and add me as a friend, I will then add you to the group. My real name is Evan Minton and my profile pic looks like the guy from the Nova energy adverts ;)

	Am guilty as novagun said just didnt bother to evan check up on this forum til recently,evan tho i did know was here,well am here now n will be staying to,Minty ask phil about getting the info from old forum,think he is toying with doing something about it as mentioned something last time i visited him about this,cant hurt to ask,you see more often than me. I have absolutly no interest in ft,seems to me like so many compeditive shooting sport i been involved in it got taken over by wealthy super compeditive eletist types n ruined it for average guy,same thing happened with action pistol shooting ,claybird shooting etc. bassically gets so expensive just to remain compeditive at any level,so many just quit due to the bs it turns into,been there done that several times,cant be bothered anymore. these days just into small game hunting pest shooting and building guns,no hassles this way eh!! Tis bloody shame the way this crap allways seems to inflict the compeditive shooting sports today so its no wonder many give it a try then quit. Cheers Mike

	I agree. I do it because it's another opportunity to shoot and just really enjoy it. The company is good. I just don't bother with politics and stick with the guns I have that work. But went out last night and shot sparrows in pack n save and enjoyed myself. Edited by Pauly5 - 31 May 2017 at 9:43am

	hey mike, you should try spring gun FT shooting. You can pick up a kit way cheaper than those pussys in PCP. you can pickup a gun, case, scope for less that what some of these guys pay just for a scope on their fancy pcp's. Just do what Pauly says... turn up and shoot, have a good time with some good people and leave...dont get caught up in the political BS because thats what turns people away.

	dont pay much attention to bs anyway,i got nothing i need prove to anyone,too old for that eh,never did get on to well with springers in past just never got hang of shooting them consistantly,but did some work on my neighbours hatsan springer while ago n found i could shoot it quite well,so you may be rite on that one,long way from here to any club tho. these days am quite happy swinging on my lathe n mill building guns n stuff eh,am lucky where i live can just lean on back fence n let lose with whatever i want n no one cares eh,no close neighbours n those do have are all shooters too so one cares bout the noise. After building firearms for 40 years really want get rite into building pcp airguns that i design myself except for action pistol shooting never found a shooting sport that appealed to me,allways been bit a loner eh. Cheers Mike

	Action pistol shooting is something I'd love to get in to Mike, after trying it years ago whilst working in Arizona. It's also the reason I've never gotten my FAL because once I'd done the required pistol club time to get my licence, I'd have to replicate my CO2 pistol and revolver collection with the real items. That would get a little pricy. Just requested to join the Facebook group mentioned so hopefully I'll be let in.
