New member, first post
Hi everyone,
I’m new to air guns, and am awaiting my Tallon SS in .22. I’ve read about 75% of the posts here, and have learned a great deal. Having been a powder burner for over 30 years, a lot of this stuff is second hand to me. But this is my first air gun, and I am very excited about it. I’ll be able to shoot it at home, at work, hunting in the field and I’m even going to try my hand at silhouette. From what I gather, air gunners do a lot more shooting than powder burners. I know this will be the case with me. I live in the city, so the shooting I do at home will be indoors. I have fairly good access to the outdoors (on my way home from work), and my boss wants me to eliminate the birds that get in the Power Plant. The range where they shoot silhouette is not too far away, and they shoot the first Sunday of every month. So all in all, my new air rifle will allow me to shoot a great deal more than I could with firearms. Thanks for a great forum, and I look forward to learning a lot more from all of you.

Good show knifemaker, I am liking this site better every day!
I need a copy of that POSTER size!
Could you get her to pose with a TSS?
A big welcome, with a little Clandestin ops thrown in! [

This place is out of control. 😆 😆
Fact of the matter is if you are an AF Airgun FANATIC like the rest of us loony bastards this is the only forum you’ll ever need to check out. This is a forum composed of people that are certifiably insane. Except of course for me. 😆
Welcome aboard

Again Doug, welcome. AKULA
Hell… sounds like I’m living in the wrong part of the US…. I think if some guys around here saw a pussy out on the street, they’d likely throw a rock at it. 😯
Doug; Welcome. And for the rest of you out there, Doug lives in SOCAL. Women strip on the street and show their wares most everywhere on this coast. It’s a SOCAL thing so you wouldn’t understand. It’s enjoyable…but it gets a bit tedious. Most are NOT screened for nudity and should leave their clothes on. There are the occasional outstanding displays though.
Again Doug, welcome. AKULA
Bet you wont get a welcome like this at any other site on the net… 😆
I am stealing that one…LOL
Here’s a couple for you. Look for this girl next time you go to Walmart! 😀
Nuglor,

Well, if we’re sending girls over…. Here ya go.
Walkonking,
Wow, she’s nice! Thanks Nebraska, I agree with you that these guys are the best.

Welcome Doug! If you’re new to airguns, this is the place to be. These guys can build a pellet gun out of two sticks and a rubber band :D.
Hi Doug and welcome,
Looks like the other guys have given you a warm welcome so I decided to post this for you….
Hi Doug, welcome to the forum. You are going to love your SS. So your boss wants you to shoot birds? You mean that you are going to get paid to do what most of would do for free? That’s great!

Welcome aboard Doug, damn this was a funny read! looks like people are starting to loosen up like the days of old WOOT! got many laughs reading posts that swung out into left field.
Anthony266, damn that was funny!!!!
LOVE my SS with the 12″ .22 barrel, hammer slap mod and some baffles. Trying to find a place to shoot powderburners is exactly why I shoot pellet guns not to mention the noise and 10-150 times the cost to shoot them 🙁
From what I’ve read shooting indoors your going to want to turn the gun down into the 500-550 fps range to avoid over penetration or damage from misses. I need to test this out on some common building materials and see what fps does what to like tin roof, copper pipe, PVC pipe etc…always been curious and I don’t want to shoot a hole in a farmers barn or something. H-m-m-m I wonder if the Base would let me shoot pigeons in the hangers????
Keep us posted, Jim.
