[Roundshot]

Hi Ted
Please put me down for a go with the model D, I am bringing a
Standard and a light pattern for the tin can's and Bell target.
Les

I shall seek you out Les, my pleasure, and to have a look at your old ones.

[TonyL]

Hi Tone
I have a Lightning in .25 cal that I've always liked.
I will bring it to the Bash if you want??,it will be fun shooting it on the tin cans .
Les..

Awesome! That'll be fun. Cheers, Les.

[TonyL]

I have specs for night time driving,and they do sharpen up the distance targets but the open sights are well out of focus.
Most of the older classic guns came with opens ,and the lower cheek piece stocks suited them better.
Les..

Mmmm........I seem to remember having seen threads about this before. Certainly worth going to a good optician and explaining your predicament. Sure they'd sort it for you, Les.

[TonyL]

Just 17 to go (for the Saturday peeps).

BOING!

[TonyL]

And it's the Spring (sic!) Equinox today.

And, with it, the promise of those ever-lengthening and warmer days to come.

Clocks for forwards soon, too.

You can tell Boinger Bash time is just around the corner.

BOING!

[flyingfish]

I may have to take the scope off of the Superstar

[Papa Cleary]

Has anybody near to St Helens have a slim Jim pump to recharge an HW90, only need to borrow it for 5mins.

[flyingfish]

I will have my pump at the bash

Better still - maybe an excuse to buy an extra gun, Pete?

How about a nice little HW30S? That way you could kill two birds with the same stone......a nice little open sighted springer AND membership to the HW30 Owner's Club.

[TonyL]

so I’ve done it Tone, a nice little HW30 with open sights in .22 As I pass by my old Range/Club on my way home tomorrow it would only be right to pop in and zero up the little fella at 20yds all ready for The Bash

How did your first day with your shiny new baby go, Pauly?

[TonyL]

I will have my pump at the bash

You ought to have waited until after the 9.00pm watershed, Pete.

How did your first day with your shiny new baby go, Pauly?

I managed an hour and a half at my old Range/Club but of course some of that was rightly spent catching up with the old codgers there. I had to borrow some AA pellets as I didn’t have any. I reckon I shot around 50 pellets and I thoroughly enjoyed it . Given it was my first time shooting on opens, I reckon I didn’t do too bad at 20yds with nice tight grouping around an inch. I was hitting tin chickens heads and resetting at 25yds too. Lovely little gun as you’ve always said matey and I’m well pleased I’ve got one now.

Absolutely excellent, Pauly and so glad you enjoyed your first plink with it.

You safely home now matey?

Had a good run back thanks Tone, Ruislip (London) to Home in 2hrs 15mins. I’ll probably do a bit of pellet testing before The Bash but will bear in mind the Hobby recommendation. Now, there is a HW30 and a HW30S right ? What’s the difference? I think it’s the trigger isn’t it ? The stamp on my barrel is HW30 without an S ???
