R W Ruggles Airgun Pellets

[MartynB]

Sadly Bob died last year - he was a great character (as was his van with knackered suspension due to all the weight of pellets and other stuff he used to lug about in it). RIP Bob.

Did he work at Pax in London ?

he worked with them, but uncertain of the formalities...

RIP Bob.. He did a lot to promote our sport.

I'll echo this - he used to sell the Pax Phoenix rifles and had something to do with the company, but I am not exactly sure what. He was also involved with the company that manufactured Defiant pellets, but again I am not exactly sure of his relationship to it.

RIP Bob. I echo the comments above. Many used to throw abuse and try to ridicule him but he sailed above it all and was dedicated to our sport. He will be sadly missed. I was told that Hugh made him, I think the term is "executive director", so that he could attend various meetings connected with our sport.

Think he was known as clubshot and remember him telling me about Defiant pellets

Sad news indeed. Bob was a lovely man and passionate about air rifle sport.

He often ran the machines making Defiant, Piledriver and Exterminator pellets and tested the Pax rifles.

His one recurring fault, the one that got him banned and suspended so many times, was that his boundless enthusiasm and loyalty to the Pax brand meant he couldn't help plugging them at every possible opportunity. It must have driven the admin team crazy.

RIP Bob, a proper character.

Really sad to hear that Bob has passed away. He supplied a few of my Brocock TAC guns. I remember buying 88g CO cylinders from him at £5 each!

I really good chap was Bob.

As others have said. Didn't know Bob had gone. Met him several times at Lea Valley back in the day and always found him a likeable character and yes, I still have some of his pellets. RIP Ruggles.
