Ladies and gents, just as the title says. Me and my family have been in the US for almost 3 years now and we have finally decided to purchase a house in this area. Our son is a student pilot in Abq., so we have decided to to buy us a decent abode in the Northwest area. We live 2 hours from Abq., btw, but we plan to relax there on weekends.
I am now a rimfire boy but right now I am snubbing my rimfires, lol! Have always been an airgun proponent, lol again!

Helo or Osprey pilot?
I am in the area but do not have an air rifle yet. (Got a scope though!) What do you have?
Do you have an place where you like to shoot?
Rio Rancho is a world away, in a way.

Hola, Rich! Oh, I see we share the same names, lol!
I am not familiar with Abq., but I often go to Calibers and shoot my powderburners when I am there.
I only have 2 airguns; a tricked out 1377 with Don Cothran parts and a 2400KT. My Don Cothran parts for it arrived today! They look fantastic!
I see that Abq. has some dive shops so I might get a pcp--that black BSA from PA looks promising and affordable!
P.S. My son flies light planes as of now.

Sounds great! Glad to speak with you. Let's see if some other folks are from around here. Still wondering about good places to pound air in this locale.

Gentlemen- click on the link in my signature and put your name there- you'll also be able to see any other airgunners in the region (or anywhere in the world).

3:54 second video I put together of her. Made 3 more dog videos. Our human son has his videos too!
Your avatar is a great shot of Barney! Trying to figure out; You probably put him on that table to shoot your blowgun. Does he like to stay out of the way when you shoot? Do you shoot slingshot?

Beautiful family, Rich!
I just put Barney there to pose with me, lol! He is not bothered when I am shooting airguns and blowguns, just stays on my side. I left him in the Philippines with my ma. Sure do miss him, sir!
I did play with slingshots when I was a kid, lol!

A good day for it, course we get many sunny days here. Can be mighty windy in the spring however.
We got a refurbished Wii video game console to play this past week. Archery is about the most close to the shooting sports. It does have wind conditions and a moving target. Hoping our son gets a feel for it that way, as artificial as it is.
Thinking Barney's got the corgi blood in him.

It sure is windy in NM, sir!
Have not tried archery but I may try it sometime. Always had this thing for primitive style weapons.
Lol, Barney is indeed a short dog! His ma had Pekingese blood, Rich.
Will be in Abq. tomorrow because the inspectors will be checking the house.

Rich, we were able to embellish our humble abode last weekend.
It has 4 bedrooms, 3-car garage, 3 full restrooms, huge walk-in closets, etc..It is a 2-storey house and the neighborhood is very nice and decent.

I measured it from the living room to the backyard and I have about 30 yards of shooting range

That's great! Thanks for catching up with us.
If you decide to go precharged, Scuba Center of New Mexico on Menaul west of Wyoming NE has a quality compressor that can go well above 3000 psi. Stacey is the owner and the two employees who helped me were good too.
My EDgun is a little too percussive in our neighborhood with the lightweight tin pellets I am using, but have been shooting inside the house, out of an open, sliding glass door to the yard. And when a neighbor is mowing their lawn, I can shoot outside. I hope you can shoot to your heart's content at your place.

Rich sir, I will be going to our abode this coming Saturday.
You could come and visit me, or I could swing by your place, or we could meet anywhere you want to.
Lunch is on me but I would like to take a peek at your Edgun though, lol!
