Bay Area (SF) airgun ‘Fun Shoot’ coming up….
Gentle friends,
At the range in Concord California, Diablo Gun Club is having their four times a year ‘airgun Fun Shoot’ in ten days (Sunday, the last day of August). This is not to be missed unless absolutely necessary. We have 15 lanes on a ‘multi use’ range, out to 200 yards. Guys will be bringing knock down (Field) targets, spinners of all kinds, cans and (plastic) bottles, water balloons, old stuffed animals, CDs that don’t play, bell targets, the ever-popular ‘shaving cream target’ (shoot through the hole in the shield) plus whatever you might bring. Some of us will no doubt amuse ourselves (yet again) by shooting the larger chips of clay birds that carpet the range. Some guys even shoot at paper targets on cardboard boxes set to whatever range they wish.
The chips of clays make it easy to see where your pellets hit, making this a great time to try your gun out at different ranges.
Eye protection is required, but since there’s no firearms, hearing protection is not. There’s usually several young shooters as well, always a good sign. Good fellowship with good folks.
Tony will be brining out his Caswell ‘arcade target system’, and no doubt some truly fine airguns for folks to try. There were four of us shooting out Talons and Condors at Livermore today, we’ll be there so there will be at least four AF guns and no doubt a big bore or two to try. So, fill your air tanks, lay in some pellets, mark your calendars, call your friends and make plans to join us:

The fun starts at nine (some will be there a little early no doubt) and usually ends mid afternoon. The range we use is ‘up the hill’ past the firearms ranges, before you get to the trap and skeet fields.
I hope to see you there and meet some of the faces to go with the names.

Roger,
Most cool. I can guarantee they’ll be popular. I wonder if they end up lighter (becasue of wood being blasted off) or heavier (picking up pellets).
As I said, I should have my .25 barrel and shroud, all we have to do is scare up a Condor to put it on…….
See you there.

Doug,
I’m going to bring some .25 kodiaks in case someone has a .25 that I can shoot.
For fun I made (40) 3-d tactical squirrel knockdown targets, in case we want to set up a lane for squirrel attack simulation.
In Cedarville if you don’t shoot fast they will overrun your vehicle and chew your tires 😯

I would like to shoot one.
I should have my .25 barrel and shroud there (if Mike remembers to bring ’em….). We can put them on your frame and you can have at it. I broke that bitty plastic screw on my Talon Thursday, so mine doesn’t adjust right now (set at 4), besides I don’t have a Condor tank (but Mike does……).
See you there.
Doug Owen
Sounds like this is going to be fun!!
One question; if anybody has a SCUBA FILLING ADAPTER laying around that isn’t being used: i’m looking for one, and am willing to pay for it too ….how good is that 🙂
Furthermore, and this is actually more urgent; if anybody can help me out with a STANDARD CONDOR HAMMER WEIGHT you’re really making my day 🙂
See y’all this sunday, cheers, Vincent
i can allmost fieldstrip the rifle now….id rather not as everything is loctitet, but hey nothing that cant be changed 🙂
He should be at the fun shoot and he is very hand. His gun is shooting really good right now but later like all spring guns he will need to go into it at sometime. I sent him a link to your write up and really I think that’s all he will need.
i’ll be happy to….im only a beginner….at this springer stuff…be he is welcome to contact me (pm for email) or is he comming on sunday ?

cant wait to get out and shoot, B40 is good to go…well as good as she gets….Talon SS is good as usual…..theoben wont have my rifle ready though 🙁
im 6’3 have a blurred face and pretty bald…..driving a green highlander or grey civic…..see you there
Cygnus X one of the club members has a B40 he got second hand that’s tuned IIRC. Maybe you can give him some pointers for Lube tuning. His name is Dan.
I will be in the green F150 with the shell and rack.
Just fed the twins to 3200 psi, and topped off (2) 4500 CF 44cf tanks so we are ready to play.

Oh you just need some additional practice then thats all….
You just need his toyz 😆
That’s the idea I was trying to give Doug….LOL
😆 He just needs to go and snatch some up.
Sorry, won’t work. He’s in Yosemite….and while he probably left a few neat guns at home, housebreaking isn’t one of my proven skills……
We’ll have to carry on as best we can. I think we can make him proud.

You dont need Tony I for fun…..

Say it ain’t so……
I was looking forward to shooting his new arcade target. We’ll just have to try to have fun without him, I guess?

I’ve Got a C02 adaptor and a condor weight if needed, should I bring a pipe wrench and a vice? (ok just in case)
and I have 800 rounds of .25 incase we need them
Just checked the targets with the .22 ss and they knock over / fly quite well.
