Still have my Welham reg'd Shamal. Can't part with it.

I feel the same about my Welham regged NJR.

Dave Welham has been extremely helpful with my research. Fascinating bloke and great to have a cuppa and a chat with!

Thank you-I well remember lusting after one of these-the advertising photo showed young Mickey Andrews with a pile of bunnies shot with his Shamal and I was a poor schoolboy so never achieved ownership. I hope to be righting that wrong very soon

Nice...

I can't find a picture of my Shamal Target, which was the first PCP rifle I bought, to use for FT. That was in the early 90s.

It was very much like the attached picture (which I found floating around on the internet, so it may be subject to copyright).

I sold the Shamal few years later at a knockdown (pun) price, to help a young shooter get into FT... 180 quid... dammit.

I've just gone to upload the ad onto this thread but I can't - I forgot you can only upload onto sales threads. Get that wrong righted ASAP!

Nice pic. What's wrong with a bit of copyright infringement between friends?

Nice write up Steve. I had a Shamal when i was going through my period of spending daft amounts of cash on unusual air rifles/pistols. IIRC the Khamsin was my first 'pucker' air rifle but i've checked and have photo's of neither.
