Loving this thread.
I've been into airgun hunting since childhood, and John Darling has always been my big example.
Huntersvermin is another fantastic airgun hunter, but that's another topic.
I asked Daz to e-mail the Rolls Royce boot photo to me.
Thank you Daz for sharing.
Ps. What kind of Roller would that be... I think a Silver Spirit. My dream car. One day...
From left to right, John Darling, Ivan Hancock, (Venom arms) and Dave Pope (Venom arms and Steve Popes dad of V-MACH) The gun in the middle is I believe the first hunter, it was named this after JD asked Venom to make one for him, presumably after having a go with Ivan's on that shooting trip, atb Daz

Great photograph and lovely, classic looking stock.
80’s pattern camo and 80’s with Apel mounts holding Kassnar optics - doesn’t get much more retro than that.
Thanks for sharing.
Put on heading 270, assume attack formation
Yep looks like Dave is using a kassnar 2-7 x 32 on his. Mach 1.5
Lovely photo, Louis; thanks for sharing.
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- August 3/4, 2024.........BOING!!
I thought JD's Rapid was FAC rated?
There's still a bit of video of him around and it's a real reminder of my youth and the airgun worlds of old. Wish I could find some of those old ones...
I've spent an age trying to find a real, original, Venom back from the day but I think people on this thread bought all the good ones!
I think and therefore...... I refuse to steal someone else's quote to try to sound more erudite or profound than I actually am.
