Have all the airgunners left Missouri, or What?!? Its been just about 6 months now since Anyone has posted anything on here.... where is everyone? Is there ANYBODY in SW MO. that is seriously looking for others to shoot with?Shooting by oneself is fine....for a while. I'm located in the area of Stocton Lake, about 4 miles west of it... anyone in the area at all who is really into the airguns and enjoys shooting with others, as I do?

I like to shoot and I have a nephew or two who like to shoot. I’m a couple three hours away but for a Saturday adventure , it would be just about right..........I’m currently fighting cancer though so my timing may be a little inconvenient but maybe we can work something in.
It's been a little slow on the forum recently, it'll pick up again
I know that I've let my airgunning slip this last year. After building a new house on 20 acres three years ago I thought I would do a lot of shooting but getting everything fixed up, trying to get a yard established, completing my shop in the shed, and then there's grand kid baseball. I won a guppy tank at the GTA shoot last year and yesterday received a new TalonSS in .22 and bought a chronograph so I should be doing a lot more shooting. I am also working on making some targets for the grand kids to shoot at. If anyone wants to come by and do some shooting just PM me and we can make arrangements, I east of Columbia.

I’ve been fighting with chemo lately and I wasn’t winning. They are letting me rest up for a couple weeks but then I have to toughen up. I will be off the clinical trial if I have to miss again and that’s not bueno with stage 4 PC. I’m up just north of the Kansas City airport in Camden Point , but I used to get down your way pretty regularly. I’m afraid those days may be numbered now but I do appreciate the prayers my friend ! I’ll try to PM you if and when I can get back to some sense of normalcy. I love shooting in the shooting matches here in the shooting match gates ! You should give it a whirl! Its all for fun and I find 5hem satisfying.Thanks again !

I AM praying for you.... and like everything else, I place it all in the Lords "hands".... but am continuing to pray for you... and have been, even though you haven't heard from me til now.PLEASE... let me know how you're doing, if nothing else.. okay?Please forgive me for the long hiatus in responding back to you... have had serious issues with an internet outage here in this area... just finally got it all back again last Thursday, but was gone since last Friday morning (June 21st), as it was my 70th b-day (Yikes!!) on Sat. and my wife had made plans with others down around the Branson area... was kind of an "adventure" weekend, had all kinds of things lined up for me over the weekend... was great.Just acquired two more air rifles from a neighbor (Korean Vet) for $40... a "Ruger" Blackhawk Elite (.177) and a Chinese B-5 underlever (.22 cal). I am going to try tuning both... have done a few others of my own, already and they came out very nice actually. My good friend Mike Melick up in Iowa has been helping me with lots of tips on the tuning... he and his wife stopped by our place for a day on the way down to the Airgun Show in Malvern, AR. last month... we both have the same lathes, but I have a newer vertical mill which I just got from Grizzly last year, so he gave it a try... said he liked it more than his (it's bigger, with a 26 & 3/4" "table" - his is 15") and may have to get one for more room to work on.... IF, he doesn't decide to "hang it up".Anyway Eric.... I'm Really wanting to know how your doing, so as you feel up to it.. would love to hear back from you again.Take care and Lord Bless you & yours,Jim

I'm Really wanting to know how your doing, so as you feel up to it.. would love to hear back from you again.Take care and Lord Bless you & yours,Jim Hey Jim,Thanks for checking on me I am ok, I am slowly getting worse but they are trying to keep me going for a while . I am on a clinical trial that is keeping me alive for the time being but the effects of the drug are pretty grim. In my three week cycle I go from nausea for 8-10 days to crippling neuropathy for 6-7 days sometimes overlapping, then a few good days . I don’t know if it’s worth it to me to keep going but the drug shows promise for the future and I would like to give my Oncologist as much good data as I can before I have to give up.I know that sounds horrible but it really is just the normal process. The Good Lord has blessed me with an incredibly full life of traveling around the world meeting some of the most wonderful people I could ever meet. I have family and friends who care deeply and look in on me constantly to make this all tolerable . And while I don’t care for constantly feeling ill on the way I have no misgivings about the eventual end.Do join us for the shooting matches if you have a chance ! I hope it doesn’t sound too corny but I relish these as a distraction and a way to Guage my well being through this. My family sometimes thinks I’m crazy for trying to get these matches done when I’m sickly but I feel like it helps me cope, especially with the neuropathy. I have days like today where I might only be able to shoot some 5m pistol targets on the porch and some days I can’t shoot at all, but it’s always in the back of my mind to try to get outside and feel better Thank you for the thoughts and Prayers ! It may not seem like it to other people but I am truly blessed and thankful for everything the Lord has provided me in my lifetime Thank You again Jim !Eric

Sorry it has been so long! Life gets in the way, it seems. I am still in the area, but have not shot recently, unfortunately. I hope that you are doing well, and as soon as I get things line out with the new job (and used to working nights again) I will get in touch. Maybe we can get together and catch up a bit!Lobo
Might I suggest following the Arkansas gate? We do a couple of outdoor fun shoots per year (and starting some FT in December). It would be a little bit of a journey for you, but we're located 30 minutes from both OK & MO.-bg
