Not really independent, still depend on gas and/or electricity.

HandPump are the real Independence :) :)

Congratulations!
I am still wheezing over a hand pump...

We would like to hear your opinion of it once you get to using it..

We all need to get together and shoot, you are only an hour or so away.
And another GTA member is in tupelo.

He wants a shoebox eventually, and I would sure like to see one in operation.

Maybe we can arrange some Saturday..

Ian.

Sounds great Ian. I have three guys I work with that shoot with me. We could definitely make a day of it.  The shoe box took 2.5 hours to bring my Al80 scuba tank from 2000 to 3000. The lines nor tank ever got hot and it runs quieter than my shop compressor.  The shop compressor would cycle about every 10 minutes.

Cool, so what do you like to shoot, silhouette, paper, field target, other reactive targets?
Anything that happens to be down range?
And what distances?

You name it we shoot it..
It's all fun to us..
We have a range here in new Albany we shoot every Saturday, but don't mind traveling to shoot...

The short answer Ian is...yes.  Put it down range and we will sling lead to it. ;)
