Re: Dec 2019 WAG Photos

Thank you so much, Randy! This is especially valuable for 2019, considering this year's unfilled PR position during WAG.

It was also nice seeing you and speaking with you while there. Hope to see you next year!

Re: TSA and Firearms at Colorado Springs Airport

If the issue is air tanks, and we are flying to a match, we should expect to either ship our guns/tanks ahead of time OR even better, have loaner tanks available for us to borrow on site. At the World Aerobatics contests, there are loaner airplanes. It can't be that hard. Consider that we had 400 o...

Re: TSA and Firearms at Colorado Springs Airport

What makes this whole thing ridiculous is that these cylinders have a safety margin of probably at least 50%, i.e. another 100bar over their rated 200bar fill pressure. The reduction in external pressure in an aircraft cannot be ever more than 1bar (1 atmosphere) as that is atmospheric pressure at ...

Re: TSA and Firearms at Colorado Springs Airport

Atomicgale, interesting that they didn't even ask until the other guy brought it up. Thanks for the feedback. Raj, thank you--it's my pleasure to help. I'm a shooter too!

Re: TSA and Firearms at Colorado Springs Airport

Interesting, and disturbing. Did you tell Ratchet you had air pistols or air cylinders, or did she ask specifically about them? Was this for Winter Airgun this year, and did you reply to me to get on the TSA list for cylinders? Your experience in Tennessee is similar to mine in Little Rock. So pleas...

Re: TSA and Firearms at Colorado Springs Airport

I totally understand avoiding the airport altogether, and driving is the ideal solution if you can swing it. But what I'm curious about right now is if: 1. There is a difference in experience at Colorado Springs TSA between those with competition firearms vs. non-competition firearms 2. If the more ...

TSA and Firearms at Colorado Springs Airport

I'm looking for some feedback from anyone who has flown out of Colorado Springs airport recently with a firearm, especially a non-competition firearm such as for hunting or personal protection. I recently flew out of Colorado Springs airport with an air pistol after competing in the Winter Airgun ma...

Re: Size wide shooting boots

I have a relatively wide foot and found the Corami brand to be the most comfortable! My previous boots, Sauer, smashed my little toe so it would go numb during a 40-shot standing match.
