I'm finally here.
« on: May 06, 2007, 06:30:12 PM »
This is my first post on here and I would just like to say Hello. Some of you may already know me from some of the other forums as I recognise a few of you. I currently own a few airguns of which my first was a chinese pistol that only works occasionally ( one in three cocks will fire). My next was a birthday present from my wife which was a CFX in 177 June last year which is when I got addicted. Next was a Shadow and an early Cadet. A couple Crosman pistols and then it took off. I still have those but have added 2 FX Typhoons, 2 Wiehrach HW40's, 2 Crosman2250's and a 2240. I still go back to my Gamo's for technique practice as they are the best for that. Master the springer and you'll master the PCP. Hopefully when I figure out how to post pictures I'll be able to show you guys my small collection. Oh I nearly forgot about my Gamo match pistol. I have one of them aswell.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I am a natural hunter and started with my slingshot when I was 8 or 9. Back then I focused on birds. Now that I have more fire power I focus on the Australian Possum which is an introduced pest here. We pluck the fur and sell it for $90nz per kilogram. I use the cash to fund my purchases. Other targeted species are Cottontails, Hares, Myna Birds, Magpies, Turkeys and rats.

I tried the attachment option with my first post and it wouln't accept the file size. I'm very new to computers and haven't quite figured out how to make pictures smaller. Do you guys use picture hosting sites like photobucket? Then I could just copy and paste the url. Thats the way I know from other forums.

Its amazing what you can accomplish with a standard stock, Dremmel, some Walnut stain and stock oil. I am very happy with the way it turned out. The stain and oil process took the longest to do. Shaping and dimpling only took a few hours. I'm glad you like it. l
