April Fools Day Boinger Bash 2017 --- Event and Payment Details

[TonyL]

Just to add to what's already been said, that is a very big thank you to everyone who setup this brilliant weekend.
This was my first 'Bash' and I will be back. I did however loose something while I was on the range and if anybody found it I would like it back What I lost was a very small piece of my brain. This was the part that had come to the conclusion that Pcp air rifles were the natural technology progression. Since loosing this part on my cranium content I returned from the 'Bash' with a another springer rifle.
Once again thanks......see you at the next one

Another springer?

Excellent; job done!

Glad you enjoyed your first Bash and sorry for not being able to catch up with you. Next time, though.

[TonyL]

I get that Tone, I've heard it from a few young'uns that have visited the range I go to, particularly boys who I suppose expect it to go a bit 'bang'.

I hope she continues with it mate, both for air-gunning generally and for you to hopefully have an advocate indoors

Yep, and I think I have seen a few similar posts in the past, Pauly. So, even though a recoilless gun may give better results in the short term, the Boinger provides the grin factor.

Sounds familiar!

And, yes, the advocate is most certainly required here to even the balance up a little. The FPO really has a bitter, negative attitude towards guns, despite all my efforts.

The younger lad, who will be 12 in June is more than keen to have a go, but she's blocking that thus far.

His time will come.

What a lovely looking Daughter, and with a great name Tone.

You must have to beat the young lads away with a stick!?

Cheers, Lovely Phil.

Dunno where the looks came from....certainly couldn't have been me!

So far, no "lad issues", but she has been good and focussing on school. And we don't let them go a-wandering. Now, if mummy will just let her have a good try at getting into this whole airgunning thing.....

[TonyL]

I guess by 'stick' you mean an FWB stock, he's got one of those I think

Nah, one of those trick FT contraptions, with metal butt pad and sticky-out bits will do it much better, Pauly.

[TonyL]

60 sleeps to go, Boingerpeeps.

The June one's going to be here in no time!


BOING BOING BOING!




How you feeling, Uncle Mick?

:

She was going to have siblings called Valentino and Imola too, Phil.

But they died at an early stage of pregnancy.

But Frankie (after Frankie Chili) is all well and good.

Spot the connection?

Excellent.

See you there, Pete.

BOING!!

I reckon the June one is going to be absolutely MAHOOSIVE!!

[TonyL]

Correct, John.

I'm into Ducatis.

When I got Brembo it was a toss up between Desmo and her chosen name. But I did once call a doggy "Desmo"......Back in 2003 we were having a stroll around Sorrento. This cute looking street dog (I think that's what he was anyway) latched onto us. Followed us everywhere for hours. I kept feeding him little snacks all day. Really well behaved little doggy too. Walked perfectly to heel. Stopped and sat on command before crossing any roads etc.

Later in the day, as we were walking back to the car, he must have sensed that we were going to be leaving. Some American tourists were walking towards us. "Desmo" simply latched onto them and off he went, obviously hopeful of some rich pickings from those people.

A 100% true story.

[TonyL]

Hope our Mick is okay.

Sounds a bit like any European lad moving in on a young female tourist on holiday I wouldn't mind guessing Sorrento Desmo is on his 150th owner by now, crafty little Bugger . Can't beat that Brembo of yours Tone

Hope our Mick is okay.

Yes, how're you doing Mick?
