I thought I would introduce myself to you all -
My names Neil and I reside in the South East of England 50 miles south of London in the County of Kent.
I have been shooting airguns, shotguns and firearms since I was 11 years of age (in the 1970's).
My current crop of airguns include:
1. Winerack HW97K .22 (Short-Range Hunter)
2. Winerack HW97K .177 (Long-Range Hunter)
3. BSA Lightning .25 (Ratting Carbine)
4. QB79 (Stand-by Ratter)
5. Diana (RWS) Model 48 .177 (Hunter Field Target, HFT)
As you can clearly see PCP's aren't really my thing I much prefer springers (although I do have a little Chinese made QB79 Co2 for rats). I like to pick my gun up and put a few pellets in my pocket and go hunting without having to re-charge the gun etc..
I look forward to talking to a few of you across the BIG pond. It's always nice to talk to our American cousins......
Neil

Welcome to AirGunHome.com!
There are a few of your fellow countrymen here- this is a "worldwide" airgun forum, although the only language used being English tends to limit this a bit. |

Hi Neil Welcome to AirGunHome, if your into springers then you’ll be at home here.
BTW I live in Lincolnshire so your not alone also there are a few more from the UK, you may find some of the North American air gunners a bit strange at times, but that comes from being ex-colonialist’s.
And as PCP as not taken off over here like at home there are a lot of Springer shooters, you can talk about power mods and silences etc there are no restrictions as long as it is legal.
Have fun.
Al |

Welcome to the forum, Neil.

Alstone exaggerates. Since we discovered soap and stopped eating raw bear meat we can hold our head high in the international community. The only reason I put up with Alstone's horrific abuse is the hope that one day he might introduce me to Nurse Gladys Emmanuelle (whose chest is a national treasure).
Again, welcome. |

Hey, don't forget the sprinkling of Canucks found on this forum as well.... After all, we did fight on your side in 1812....
Welcome, Kent Detective....
