Hi All,
My name is Steve Cover.
I've been lurking here for awhile, so I should introduce myself.
I'm an old duff who has been shooting since the late 40's.
Having become an Adrenalin junkie from flying helicopters in Vietnam, I spent most of the rest of my life chasing rainbows and adventure as a contract pilot all over the world.
WILD SILVER FOX UNGA ISLAND ALASKAN CHAIN 1982
I shoot just about every kind of sporting projectile device, and like to experiment outside of the expected parameters of normal use.
My original reason for joining this group was to get advice on sighting in the old FWB 124 I used to kill camp pests in Alaska.... Got great advice..
However, after a bit more browsing, I discovered the incredible amount and quality of air gun information here. I've decided to stay and enjoy your company.
Now that my lifestyle has finally caught up to me (Disabled Vet), my fascination with long range ballistics has scaled down to air gun size. I can still play with holdover and wind drift, and not take all day to change targets.
Glad to met you,
Steve |

From what I've seen so far, I sincerely doubt it.
I'm an avid shooter and enthusiastic duffer, but can come nowhere near the expertise I've seen here.
Because I'm new, maybe I can provide a different perspective for discussion, but the ones with the knowledge are already here.

| Welcome, Steve. Since I joined I have done four major rebuild projects that probably wouldn't have happened without the encouragement and suggestions I found here. Carve your own niche; we're happy to have you. |

Welcome and thank you for your service.
I read an article by BB Pelletier on your gun. Nice little shooter there. |

Your topic on those your pellet adapters has proved you wrong.  I didn't even know something like that existed. |
