Title: "Backyard Plinking" you tube channel
Post by: bryan123 on July 07, 2021, 05:45:48 PM
Hi, does anyone know what happened to Charles on the Backyard Plinking channel?  I enjoyed his videos a lot.  Nothing new in many months.

I looked him up and found this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRJLPIgfXG8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRJLPIgfXG8)  Sadly, reading the comments it appears that Charles has passed on.

I just discovered this a few weeks ago. I was going to make a post about it, but I guess I got distracted by something else. I have a habit of doing that when I land here. I really enjoyed his channel. He reminded me that our hobby was meant to be fun.

Amen Bro.  He had a nice laid back style.  And he was an awesomely accurate shooter.

I really enjoyed his videos.
He presented many fun plinkers over the years.

 Did not know the man personally, but he felt like a buddy that I had over very  often.
Listened to him in my living room.
 Don't even know his last name, or where I could send condolences. Think he was in Florida.
 He will be missed.   RIP Charles.

I just went to Charles' YouTube channel and noticed he hasn't posted any videos for 4 years, and then learned why in the short video where he explained about what sounded like a brain tumor. I started looking into what happened and learned here that he passed away.  I enjoyed his channel. RIP Charles.

Funny this thread popped up today. I was watching his videos the past few days. Some kind of synchronicity there.  He captured the laid back, funness of plinking for us to enjoy when not doing it ourselves.

 The guy on "Off the Shelf Airguns" has tried to take to continue on for him.
 He's okay, but not quite the same.

Never stumbled on his videos.

Sounds like a good stash to look up...

He was great and goes over a long list of airguns.
