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! ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq7jVyBfFqE Air Arms S510 US .22 Air Arms S410 .22 Weihrauch HW97KT .177 Weihrauch HW95 .177 |

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 |
