Greetings from darkest Ayrshire, I started airgunning a year ago whilst at a loose end , post retirement . purchased a sl510 air arms ,met some really helpful and interesting members at my local club (NASGARC) and got hooked .now own a daystate mk4 . pistol shooting came when we formed a tuesday pistol shooting club , I now own a fwb p80 and like it more than my other toys. This is a terriffic site for a novice like myself.

Hello Bill,

And welcome to the forum.

There are many of us who dislike the modern mass produced CO2 replica pistols, and are trying to preserve the more traditional and somewhat classic pistol.

Feinwerkbau make excellent pistols, and their models 65 and 80 are much sought after amongst the classicists.

Kind regards,



Phil

I might add that for an old springer ( the pistol not me ) it's doing rather well against all modern ones at the club and I am at present tying for the lead in our 1st competition with 2 shoots still to complete. The old girl is definitely feeling the strain though ,hence my questions on servicing.

My club is trying to encourage people to dig the older guns out with our Muscle Power League (MPL) .

There is a thread about this on the BBS if your club would be interested in taking part, or you could pm zooma for details.

Kind regards,



Phil

|I will inform my club president and leave it in his capable hands.
Since starting our tuesday night pistol shoots we have provoked interest from many other clubs in our hft league and are in the midst of setting up what will be a scottish league. mighty oaks from little acorns indeed.

Thanks Plinkit , pistol nights have a steady attendance and terrific craic.The standard of shooting has progressed at great speed and the low scores now would be winning scores in our 1st week of competition.Have contacted Dave Mercer to see if he can breathe new life into my tiring p80.

Great stuff Bill. Good to see that it does make an improvement having a regular place to practice against others :D
