Daves bringing a knockdown crow and moving targets if that helps

I believe the rifle requires around 200psi. And also a specific adapter. I am still searching

 

[Keypresser]

No sorry, we are looking at 230 bar ~3300 p.s.i.
If your compressor will get to that pressure.......
We will have air, it's ok but thanks for offering.

I did drop a big one there. I’ve since discovered that keypresser is correct.
230 bar.

If your gun is a daystate then we can charge it up, for other makes you will need the fill adapter and we can connect to the fill hose from the bottle.
I have a buddy bottle and it has 200 bar in it so a few fills is possible.

Got a PM from Kate last night so i hope so.
At the moment we will have to leave on Sunday afternoon as have something going on monday but that still gives 2 nights and 3 days!!!!!

Charged my Mk4 up and the seals blew but charged the Mk3 and it seems ok.
Will bring my Cadet springer for the novices and me if the Mk3 fails.

Just found a 6kg bag of charcoal in my store (unused before anyone asks),
Will bring it along for the fire pit.
Love the smell of steak and burgers on a barbie, sausages too, come to think of it, anything on a barbie,,,,,within reason!

Hi Kate, sorry to say we can't make it for this meet. Have spoken to Bill to explain, so any reserves can take our place.
Thanks,
Pauline and Mike

I used to have an s400, good gun but moved to Daystate.
Should be able to charge up ok.
Also bringing along a boomerang.
Never used it, was a present from an Australian colleague.
Maybe we should get a competition going to see who can return it or raffle it or maybe put it on the fire pit for kindling.
Any sensible ideas?

 

[The Dotties]

With my skills best we settle for kindling.
There will be some questions re rifles. I’m being tempted.

 

[Keypresser]

FIRE AWAY..................

I have an earlier version of this. Belonged to my great uncle who was a copper in Salford docks during the 2nd world war. He used to load it with a dart and carried it in his truncheon pouch in his pants. He used to tell me when he was on the chase if he ran short of breath he would push the barrel in and give them a blast. Probably get prosecuted nowadays but he used to get his quota of spillages,,,,sugar,,tea & coffee, so there was always a way in the war. That is why they had 2 large front pockets. To put the spillages in.
Say what you want but this actuallhappened and my Uncle Sam (the copper) used to tell me these stories (and others if you are interested).
