Haven't been very active on here for a long time, a couple of quick posts a few months back but then it jumps back to about 2017!!
My name is Mintie, I am from Hawkes Bay where I run an animal pest control business called The Anti Pest. I use some pretty serious PCP gear for work including a Matador, Leshiy, Uragan 2, S200, S510 tactical, Notos, Dragon slayer, Logun S16, RWS Excalibur and a custom 30 cal carbine from Wingman plus a range of powder burners of course. Then there are the fun collectable airguns but I can't even remember half of what's in the safe, mentionable ones include a Record Champion, a few S&W 78/79, some old Crosman pistols and a bunch of 22xx/CP1 custom jobs etc. I used to do a fair bit of work modding and repairing airguns but haven't had the time since starting my business, there are probably 20-30 airguns waiting for rainy day repairs but it turns out I still have to work on rainy days 😆 Always happy to chat airguns and help locals out, I'm usually out at the Roy's Hill range once a month changing one of my setups or checking zeros etc so happy to have others tag along. |

Hey Mintie!,
You were very active on the "old" airgun forum weren't you? ![]() I learnt a lot about airgunning from you and Wingman way back then!!! Is Wingman still around? I still have some excellent Russian Edgun .22 pellets I bought off him many years back! My Air Arms S410 SL Classic loves 'em! Welcome back! Good to hear from you!

Not much in the last few years 😆. It's in the rainy day pile waiting for me to look at the valve

Cheers, used to be pretty active on the old forum and on Facebook but life has been pretty hectic over the last 5 years or so!
Wingman is still around and doing some pretty interesting stuff, but mostly powder burners these days. I catch up with him for a hunt a few times a year, usually with some good beverages, excellent food and tall stories. I still have a bunch of the Exgun pellets too, mostly 177 though as I've used up most of the 22s |
