    Nice one on the Boingy-up marshalling, Paul.. Great to see you on and I hope you're okay. Fantastic to see you've been using the charismatic HW45 for home fun.

    And is that a recent change to your signature re the HW30? Lovely little things, aren't they?

    Ordered some pellets from our lovely sponsor yesterday, peeps. Ordered around 1.30pm and they arrived about 8.30 this morning.. As ever, very well packaged and brilliant service.

    I got some more of the H&N Excite Hammers. Very competitively priced, as in budget priced. Look really well made and at least a couple of my guns really like them. Also got some more of the Crosman wadcutter. These are getting used in the 2240s. All for short range home use and, with the cost of pellets shooting up recently, they're both excellent buys. You notice that price hike more in the. 22, so to get quality like this at budget money is great.

    Also got some JSB Match flat heads to try. Nice and light for .22s.

    And, and a bit of indulgence........with all the positive buzz around slugs currently, I got some. 22 H&N Slugs. At 23 grains I think they'll be far too heavy for my needs, especially in springers. Just wanted to fondle and look at 'em!

    Hello Tone,

    We're all OK here thanks, and I hope all is ok with you and your family.

    The HW30 I've got is the one that you picked up for me from Nick, oldskools, on the way to Quigley Hollow a few years ago.

    I've been using it down our club, when we could , at 10m for plinking on the indoor range, and further distances on the 50m outdoor range. Great little guns, - mine is .177, blued and synthetic black stock

    I've got four HW45's now

    1 - Standard .177
    2 - Silver Star .177 with fettled internals
    3 - Silver Star .22
    4 - Black Star .22

    All purchased off BBS members

    Bash 2021

    Hi Everyone,

    I hope you are well and coping with the lockdown.
    Personally, apart from going to the pub nothing much has changed for me, except I am now an essential worker. For those who don't know I am the caretaker at a local school which has been open for the children of essential workers, so I still get up every morning.

    I have made enquiries with a local land owner and a farmer as to the possibility of holding a meeting.
    The response is positive and we have a narrow window of opportunity between the hay being cut and the birds being released on the local shoot.
    The best dates for me would be the 26th and 27th June, the previous weekend being given the UKCAF to help share the cost.
    We have a possible plan B and alternative location plan C.

    So 26th and 27th June 2021
    Between the A606 and A46, Nether Broughton near Melton Mowbray.

    I will start new Thread shortly asking for prospective attendees. Depending on the situation at the time we may be limited on numbers.

    Camping will be in a field, with portaloos, no running water but I will arrange for a water run every lunch time ish.

    Lots to sort out but I will let you all know soon.

    Great to see you on, Neil. And well done on your vital role in the essential sector. As Mark, should be okay for that, subject to restrictions etc.

    Neil; do excuse me. I must take more time and read the posts properly.

    When I first read this I thought this was for a UKCAF meet. But I've just re-read it (that'll teach me!) and it looks like this provision would be for a Boinger Bash then?

    EXCELLENT! Yes, indeedy. Good, central location, too.

    Let us know how and when things progress and what assistance you require.

    You're a star!

    Thought I could feel me ears burning

    Crikey Paul that was a while back, glad you are still enjoying it

    From memory I think that 30 was only a few weeks old and in true oldskoolzzz fashion if it’s not nailed down I’m a very naughty boy

    Coincidentally I’ve purchased another HW30 back in late November last year.

    I imported a very tasty looking HW30STL version from Mundilar in one of those latest fandango stocks

    I’m a sucker for the 30 must have had double figures of them now but I can’t think of anything better for my needs it’s a brilliant 10m garage gun and been perfect for some Bell Target training.

    I must be due a return for another bash Tony? As you know it took years of persuading to finally get me to do one a couple of years back

    Think my requirements were must be 20 degrees plus and bright blue skies which ruled them out most of the time

    Hope you are well Tone and I’ll keep tabs on your thread

    All good, cheers, Nick, and great to see you on.

    And very well done on acquiring yet another 30.. Just make sure you keep this one, okay?

    Fear ye not, whenever and wherever the Bash will be, we'll be basking in glorious, baking sunshine.

    Cheers Tone,

    I’m reluctant to call it a keeper as that word doesn’t exist when I buy anything

    I will try and be a good boy though

    Now if you can fix the weather sounds perfect
