8th & 9th September 2018 Boinger Bash --- Event and Payment Details

[MikeHW45]

Of course I don't mind, Pauly. They're all airguns after all, in'it?

I sometimes dread the day if things got that bad with my neck, arms and back that I couldn't use a proper air rifle.

I have had the odd go with the odd PCP. Some didn't impress at all.......GC2, Huntsman and Shamal years ago. But some that I have tried at The Bash have been very impressive. Not least the HW110 that I tried at the last Bash. Looking in the pictures, I could never imagine fancying one. But it looked far, far better in the flesh and shot sublimely. And everything snickety-snicked beautifully as you'd expect from the mighty HW. Others that I've tried and liked were a FTP900 and BSA R10 & Scorpion. And I love the stock on that new Brocock Bantam Sniper thingy.

If the day ever came, though, with my HW loyalties, it'd have to be a 100 if I could afford it.

There, I've said it and I really hope the day never comes when I have to admit defeat. Now, no more talk of these namby pamby pfffttttt guns! Oh, and another thing.....if my arms and things were that bad, dunno how I'd manage to pump one of the damned things up or cart about a dodgy, heavy bottle!

Lol....the funny thing is with the S510 is that I really wanted one and couldn't wait to pick it up. However, having been to Iden Ferns 3 times and used my springers instead I can honestly say if Rachel didn't want to use it I would sell it on and do without. I had a few shots at the last bash with it and although it shoots beautifully, its accuracy is second to none and basically it does what it says on the tin, its not an exciting rifle to use. I think to sum it up its almost too good to be enjoyable if that makes sense!!!!

How's the improved rocket system coming along Mike? Perhaps instead of trying to fit a parachute you could fit an led light and retrieve it at night if you can't find it if it goes out of sight again.

Great idea Gary and it’ll save me a bit of mileage trudging through fields

I picked up some electrical conduit ready to construct a couple more rockets for September!!! The red lights a great idea. I have some leds and circuit board kit here at home. I may well have a dabble

Any chance you could get Sandra Bullock over to pilot it like in the film Gravity Mike ?

I would trudge many many acres of fields to retrieve that one❤️

Just 65 sleeps until our Little Field of Joy comes alive to the sounds of boinging, ker-doinking, pumping, launching and much merriment.


BOING!

I do get that Mike, I never take either of my pcp’s (HW100 and AA S410) to my Range (only to zero or pellet test on occasion) and nor do I bring them to The Bash. I very much prefer to shoot a springer as it is without a doubt more challenging and rewarding. My pcp's are purely for hunting/pest control as I want to give myself every advantage I can when it comes to taking shots at live quarry.

Fully get what you're saying, chaps.
