What a wonderful day that was yet again at the picturesque and tranquil Quigley Bottom.
Fantastic to see familiar, friendly faces once again and meet more newcomers once again.
Well, once again, someone sprung a surprise. Last time it was Pete, look no hands, who arrived and gave me a lovely bonus surprise by coming along. And he's here again this weekend with his lovely partner and the most cute & awesome Taz, the border collie dog dog.
. And yesterday I finally had the pleasure of meeting Alistair, Hsing-ee, after communicating on the forum for just over the last ten years.
Excellent to meet Mr RattyBuster 2240 and to see Melv return.
Spent some lovely time with some fantastic people and looking forward to more of the same today.
Nick - your rifles are simply dribble-worthy, as ever. I hope you get that little hiccup resolved quickly.
Again had the absolute pleasure of seeing and trying a brilliant selection of wonderful springery toys.
But you know the one that keeps jumping out and impressing more each time I see and use them? Yep, the fantastic little HW30S. I really did ought to use mine more often. Every time I shoot them they put a huge smile on my face. Light, easy cocking, sublime trigger, brilliant accuracy and so, so forgiving. Cheap for a HW, too. But able to deliver quality satisfaction for generations. I've said it so many times and yesterday really reinforced it once again, if you're not hunting at longer ranges or doing FT, you really don't need anything bigger / more powerful than what is this gem of a rifle.
Thank you Neil and Tina for making it happen.
See you later, peeps.
