    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.

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

I still can but, I bought a bottle to bring to the Range with me when I thought at the time I would be shooting it regularly there but as I said above, I don’t now as springers are more my thing. So.... my bottle sits in a cupboard upstairs and if I do a plinky/zeroing sesh in the garden I don’t need to lift it/move it to refill. If I’m going over to my permission which can be two to three times a week sometimes , I fill up at home before I go and knowing I have 80 odd shots (6 x 13 shot mag) I know I will never have to refill on site. I reckon my bottle stays in situ 99% of the time.

    Have to admit a tinge of jealousy and a bucketful of admiration on the pumping Paul. I worry about my pcp's, they're in the rack for about 95% of my shooting time, even with a portable bottle.

    Seize the Day! Quigley Hollow is a great place to start.

    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

    Yep, that LittlePaulyBoy's a proper sex God, Gwyn.


    Oops; sorry, you meant pumping up the PCP.

    Did you see Chris (Baldinio) pumping up his new Kral at the bash??? He was like a set of well oiled pistons...……..for about 20 seconds until he ran out of puff!!!!!

    I know what you mean about the lack of use of pcp’s Gwyn, if it weren’t for my fortunate ability to have a few places to shoot pests, I doubt I would use mine much at all. But, if you’re anything like me, you’ll not sell them and just hold on to them - that’s cool too

    Being short, squat and a bit top heavy helps Tone

    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.
