    If Bob's still around you might be able to contact him via Lea Valley club, he's a great guy who will do anything to promote air rifle shooting.

    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.

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

    RIP Bob.. He did a lot to promote our sport.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    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
