7th and 8th April 2018 Boinger Bash --- Event and Payment Details

[tinbum]

We just had a great morning at the club. A british ex-pat member let me have a go with a few pistols starting with a Hammerli .22 target pistol. Within a few mags I was getting them all in the black at 25m, I'm dead chuffed with that! Next I had a couple of cyclinders through a .38 special which I loved, then he put six .357's in. HOLY CRAP! Jamie told me about this, but I wasn't really prepared for the difference.

I've been given permission to use air rifles on the 50m range as I have assured them I'll be able to hit the targets. I'm gonna need more practice!
So, which air rifle to use? I have the 50j kit for the Evanix, but that would mean filling every six shots, I could go 20j with the Steyr, but again, filling is a pain.
Only one thing for it, High Powered Boinger Time! Favourites are either the ultra short HW97 which should be ready for building by the time I return which will go nicely at sub 20j, or the HW80. If I knocked the short stroke off it would go to around 20j, 24-26 if I put a new spring in. The tricky part is not being able to compare them beforehand. I would have to prep the parts to "Best Guess" in the Uk before bringing them out to try.
Still, full powered HW80.......

Sounds like great fun Nick. The HW80 sounds like a seriously tempting beast

Yep, the 357 takes no prisoners, I think my ears are still ringing from using it last time.

Sounds great, Mr Cuddly Bear.

And to be able to enjoy the '80 in all its unrestricted glory......awesome!

Congratulations Tone that's fantastic news. A big special two finger salute required

Cheers, Mike.

The two finger salute coupled with a sharp hammer blow would be even more apt!

Oh yes.....he later said, "If we get stuck with something and need to ask your advice on things Ducati related we'll be ringing you from time to time"...eh?

I think my reply to that would have to be "Why don't you go and boil your testicles"

Okay in theory, Mike.




Except he has none!




Funny, though.
