Hi all, Been a member for awhile but don't post mainly because I consider myself a relative newbie (3 years into this addiction), and don't have much to contribute. I have learned a great deal through this forum and follow it on an almost daily basis. I am shooting in my back yard out to 25 yds, and am getting to where I can hit the broad side of a barn with almost every shot. I would like to extend my range to 50yds., do some small game hunting and eventually get a big bore. I own several pcp's, a springer, an air tank and a new hill hand pump.
I am retired, a Vietnam Vet and would like to meet up other shooters in west central Florida for target shooting and hunting. ( I have eliminated the rat problem in my back yard with over 50 kills in the last 3 years. Time to extend my horizons.) Looking to buy some hunting land in the Virginia mountains and eventually build a home there.
Anyone wanna get together? Thanks, EasyG

Hi EasyG,
I'm in North Florida so it's a little far for range time, but the Virginia thing is interesting since I have family up there. Also, thx for the ratting. Hate those things.
I want a pcp and have been looking at the Mrod and AA S510. The problem is I live on the water and have a limited range. Maximum of 25 yards before I run out of land. Therefore I have a NP and the distance is just right. I was a Merchant Mariner and just missed being drafted toward the end of the "conflict." I did go over on a cargo ship taking food to Saigon just before the fall. Very interesting place. Are you looking to air gun hunt in Virginia?

Hello EasyG,
I am also a Vietnam vet and have been shooting airguns for over 30 years. I actively compete in Benchrest and Field target around the state. The club that I belong to is the Dade City Rod and Gun club. While not an airgun club, I shoot there a lot and am trying to organize some cometitive events there. You didn't say where you live, so I don't know how far away you are, but you sure are welcome to come up and shoot at our club. They are open every day except Thursdays. The shooting fee for non member is $20 per day. Please email me if you wish. My address is in the profile.

Hi all,
I am also very interested in meeting fellow air gunners here in central Florida. Kindly keep me in the loop for any air gun shooting events or meetups in the area. I live in Kissimmee.

New to the group. North side of Orlando. Also looking for shooting groups.
Back porch and back yard are fun, but you can do only so much.

OK THIS IS PART IMPORTANT SO PAY ATTENTION ---
1- Use ONLY your GTA Screen Name on the Map. (Do not use your real name)
2- Also, since the map is accessible to the entire internet, place your marker some where within a few MILES of your house, BUT NOT EXACTLY AT YOUR HOUSE.
