Hi everyone,
I am from East London in South Africa, and have had a keen interest in everything related to air gunning.
I will be importing airguns and accessories on a regular basis for the South African market as a dealer.
Thanks for a great forum.

Welcome to GTA Malcom!
Interesting about the South African market for airgunning. Does your area have a good market demand?

Welcome! If you are one of the first few dealers to penetrate a growing market, you will be very successful in the next few years. The airgunning sport is growing at a fast pace with new guns/products being introduced regularly by the manufacturers like never before. The PCP market is also getting increasingly more popular and affordable here with entry level PCP rifles from Crosman that became an overnight success. I am sure South America is seeing the same trend, except may be a little later than us here.

Welcome Malcolm. I look forward to your participation; I bet you have a lot of knowledge to share. I think most of us here are from the US, so your international viewpoint will be valuable too!
