Thanks Dave, yes an interesting read.
I like the idea of shooting at work in a league, like the ladies are in the photo.
An friend of mine did set up an airgun shooting range in his works canteen some years ago, which was very popular with some of the staff
The range of Co2 guns now available is vast, and helped by the fact, I believe, by the choice of airguns that are modelled on centrefire guns.
I've got a fair few in my collection, from a Crosman 600 up to the Umarex P08 and MP40 - all good fun to use

Hi Dave,
Thanks for posting the very interesting link to the brief history of Co2 powered guns. I was never really a great fan of these guns while I still had plenty of spring powered pistols to be chasing, but after buying a Crosman 150 I soon got the bug and now have quite few others from Crosman, Benjamin, Schimel etc. I even became interested in early pumpers, but it's easy to see why these were never as popular as the gas powered models.

Thanks Dave, although it hasn't helped my desire to own a Crossman 150
so adverts of the time could promote one or the other brand.I'm bound to say painted Premiers at $NZ46 hung on shop walls for months when their competition was a variety of repeating CO2 guns. Amazing to think a HW55T with fancy tyrolean stock cost no more than a Sheridan or Benjamin pump-up rifle!
