    hello one and all

    Hi Guys and Girls

    just thought I'd introduce myself as I'm trying to have good etiquette, Anyways living near Wigan in a little place called Appley Bridge, currently live on a farm as a tenant and luckily have the permission of the land owners, Have been into air rifles all my life but haven't owned one for a great many years until now. Gamo Coyote Tactical .22, HW99S .177, Hatsan Striker Edge .22 & SMK XS19 .22. Ive recently gone all nostalgic and fell in love with "springers" again something very noble about them.
    Anyways re learning to shoot again and hunt pest species only too.
    hope to meet people here and also learn some stuff, tuning, scopes, etc so will be plugging people for help and information hope that's OK with everyone.

    anyways that's me in a nutshell

    Regards

    Phil

    Welcome aboard, Phil.

    You'll love it on here, sir. Lots of springer knowledge, enthusiasm, frolics and banter too!

    Oh yes, you mentioned meeting people.....Well, there's no better place for that than at The Boinger Bash, where you'll meet many of the springer enthusiasts on here in the flesh.

    The next one will be held on the 1st and 2nd of April at Quigley Hollow, Higham on The Hill, near Nuneaton.

    Put it in your diary and come along if you can.

    Hello buddy and welcome...

    My question to you is 'did you ever really fall out of love with springers' to which I seriously doubt the answer is yes as it's a love that can never really be lost whilst PCP's on the other hand well they come, they go, you know...
