Check out 643 group on facebook. We have a club day comp on Dec 13. But we are looking at getting into Hunter Field target, so perfect for the small game hunters in us.
Or PM me, and I can keep you informed.

love them or hate them pcp airguns have no equal for power and performance in any caliber,they are allso lot easier to shoot accuratly than other powerful spring or gas ram rifles because they have no recoil and generally have much better triggers,but more expensive to buy and need some way of filling them with hpa,which is one off but added cost to get into them,a good hand pump is proberly the lest expensive way to fill pcps as hpa bottles need testing on regular bassis ans allso cost approx $50 for test etc,dont know want they cost to fill these days as get mine filled at club cheaply.i have two older versions made by BSA of the gamo listed at HnFing for $999.99 essentually the same rifles that are very sccurate and powerful the gamo is putting out approx 30fpe which makes it a rather useful hunting rifle and comes with scope and hand pump ready to go,not bad price for what you are getting.

For a reasonably cheap entry into pcp, there's a Gamo pcp, that is basically a BSA, so good barrels. They are getting good reviews too. I know Hunting and Fishing PNth have access to them.
There's a club day at 643 airgun range 8 Nov, tomorrow, and there will be a couple of pcp's you can check out,

Haha, youre our new spammer Mike.

Chris, we are always keen to hear what gun you get or have. New pcps are pretty flash, and pricey, but there are still some good old ones out there that do the job just as well, and with style. Either way, it's exciting hearing what others get.

we now live in the golden age of airguns,thats for sure,modern airguns aint the same as grand dads old bb gun and nothing like the springers many of us grew up with either,modern airguns have become very sophisticated hunting and shooting equipment,proberly because of my long history hunting and shooting with firearms pcp airguns being very simialler to firearms in many ways,this is the type of airguns i like and use,but having a keen interest in all things airgun related i follow the development of other types of airguns with interest allso,without a doubt spring and gasram type rifles havnt been been missing out either,they have allso like pcp airguns come a long way in last 20 years to,gasrams have completly changed break barrel airguns,as the rams can be tuned to enhance power/performance on many of these guns to give power and performance only dreamed of with springers,but springers havnt been left behind either as modern technology has significantly improved them as well,these days it would be a very hard person to please who couldnt find an airgun that suited them for whatever purpose they use it for,as the choices in airguns has become so diverse today.
