K58 and 65's are all gone.All that pumping got me to excited.
I looked at that C20 online and liked the looks of it.
I don't know anyplace around here that I could get a big tank filled.
I wonder what kind of accessories he had?
Right now two guns are floating in my mind as a second gun but they are both morini.
one $750 and one all rebuilt by pilkguns for a little more.

old to shoot

Post by robinhoods »

Well-you're close. Not off by much-say Brooklyn is 330 miles south 5 1/2 hr dr.
No there is nothing around hear except ST John Fisher College.
I'm going to wait a few more days to see if anything pops up for sale and then I might go Benelli Kite or Morini.

Why are you telling him to get a pump when he can't even pump a Pardini?

I just noticed that you changed the location in your ID panel from "Brooklyn" to "E. Rochester". Have a look at this: http://www.yellowpages.com/east-rochester-ny/dive-shop

Pisces looks like it is in the same area as St Johns Fisher.

Where I am in Vermont the nearest dive shop is almost two hours away on Lake Champlain. I still use NE Divers in MA simply because the owner is an archer and we've become friends. We discuss the Zen of shooting all the time be it pellets or arrows.

How Old is too Old

Post by rigwhanson »

I will be 71 this year. I shoot as many bullseye matches as I can go to and have a lot of fun doing it. No to mention the fact that I get to know a lot of nice people that are fun to shoot with.

I just went crazy and bought my first air pistol it is a Steyr LP50C which I bought from Pilkguns. I also purchased a extra trigger so I have one trigger set for air Pistol weight at 500 grams and the other set at either 2.5 or 3.5 lbs to shoot bullseye practice. Then I wen rover the top and bought a Electronic Target from Shot Response a Sius HS-10. The target can be used to score conventional 10m pistol or air rifle. It can also be hardened to shoot 22 if you like. The targets scored can also be NRA bullseye targets that the unit will automatically scale down to the proper scoring dimensions to shoot at 10M so you can practice Bullseye shooting with the Ari Pistol. The whole setup is more fun than a barrel of Monkeys. Your never too old!!

RGW Do you mind if I ask the cost of the target? I don't see prices on their website.

Sius HS-10 Cost

Post by rigwhanson »

The standard cost of the target with Siuslane software to put on a PC to read it and run it is $2199 however they have a reduced price in effect to the end of March which is $200 less and is what I paid. The sales guy Glenn Goodwin at Shot Response is a helpful guy and can answer any questions you have just email hiim. I would be happy to answer questions as well.

Thanks for the tips. $2000 is not as expensive as I originally thought...
