Ontario Heys guys I just signed up and have been wondering around the site and have already found several useful tips and insights. I am a member of a couple of ATV forums and have found the knowledge there incredibly useful and I can see a similar passion/expertise here. So thanks to the members and moderators for having a top notch site! Now if only my aim was as good... _________________ Quack Kills   Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2010 11:28 pm Mark5043 Silver Status Member Joined: 12 Apr 2009 Posts: 1379 welcome Q...... This sure is a great place to hang out,and talk shop.A-lot of what I have learned over the last year has been through the guys here.No matter what it is,you will find it here....   Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 2:39 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Welcome and thanks, Q! I hope you'll find it quite snazzy here. I see you're packin' a Diana 34, how's it working for you? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 1:13 pm Quack Member Joined: 30 Mar 2010 Posts: 25 Location: S. Ontario Thanks guys. The 34 has easily taken down crows, groundhogs, and a narrow miss on a juvenile coyote (tried a head shot @40 yds). Unfortunately, the scope is giving me grief, after the tune-up, the scope which shot perfectly last year (Nikko-Stirling Silver Crown) now shoots 2' (yes feet) high @ 20 yds, really good grouping though. I guess its time for a Gold Crown-Air gun model. What kind of shooting do you do in the Netherlands?

From small bore to big bore, airgunning is (still) legal ranging to the highest amounts of power you can get from pre-charged pneumatics to "The Gat" push piston pistols. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 8:19 pm Quack Member Joined: 30 Mar 2010 Posts: 25 Location: S. Ontario Well Mr. Broom I live amongst about at least a 100 dutch farms, you probably have relatives here! (Haldimand County, Southern Ontario) If your are around I will gladly take out hunting for any local species! On the same note, it has been a while since I have been to main land Europe (I'm Northern Irish originally-now Canadian ), I would hope for a similar courtesy! _________________ Quack Kills   Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 9:03 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho i like your name. it's the sound my pet duck makes. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 9:08 pm hickinthesticks66 Member Joined: 19 Mar 2010 Posts: 14 Location: Michigan Welcome to the forum.

Most of my closest relatives live in Michigan for as far as I know. If you'll ever go touring around the Netherlands be sure to drop a line. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Apr 01, 2010 3:15 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2442 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Yeah, you can always find Broom at the Coffee Shop... _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
