Man I bet with all the rain I didn't even get 20 minutes of actual trigger time. Great seeing you guys though. Wish it could've been longer. Just in from rehearsal and I'm wiped out. More later.

It was beautiful out right after you guys left,lol! We stayed out there for another two hours. Norman just watched me miss stuff, after his gun decided it didn't want to shoot anymore.

I'll always bring one gun, because it's all I got, haha! It was cool to shoot Trinh's Slayer with that bada** digital scope too. I didn't even get to shoot Glen's Gladius, but I really liked the way it feels. I'm definitely going to have to give it a try next time we shoot. I'm still waiting on somebody to dig into one of those and see what it is really capable of

I know this Sunday is Mother's day but we need to set another date. I still don't have a spot to shoot down here yet. I need to talk to some people. I don't want to contact the guy w/the pecan grove until I'm closer to being ready to help him out with the squirrels and I'm a ways from that at this point.

That rain spoiled everything. We need at least a whole Sunday with barbecue and drinks. How is your Sumatra Norman? Have you taken it apart? I only got 2 shots off Gladius.

GD Giles · « **Reply #125 on:** May 02, 2016, 10:33:35 AM »

Yes, I agree. Eats, drinks, etc. It would be wonderful to be able to spend hours WITHOUT RAIN shooting!

Norman, what seal let loose on your Sumatra? Would it be the one on a Hatsan where the tube screws in?

I didn't get a chance to look at it. I'm in OKC all week and have stuff planned with the kids this weekend. I will be home next week but my work schedule is crazy. I might just ship it off to PA for repair so it will be back by the time I get a chance to shoot it.

I feel bad for Billy. As soon as he got there the rain came and he didn't even get a chance to pull his gun out. Well Trinh you will have to give him an invitation the next time we meet.

I'm not sure which one blew but all the air dumped out in a matter of minutes. Korean guns are completely different from Hatsans. I'm thinking it's the poffett but I texted Gabe and he said it could be a number of things.

Hey guys, this isn't exactly air gun related but I have a few tickets left for Drift Atlanta if any of you would like one. I can leave it at will call for you. It is Saturday, and if you get there by 3 you'll still get to watch the top 32, and it goes to about 10 under the lights. Trinh, are you sure you don't want to go?? Its a real hoot, and there will be some bad a** cars it out there! Oh the tickets are free of course.

GD Giles · « **Reply #130 on:** May 06, 2016, 11:44:53 AM »

Sounds fun and thanks but I'll be at work. It looks like my employee situation has me working for at least every other Saturday if not every Saturday for the foreseeable future.

I'm dying to chrony my Gladius but my daughter has the dining room table tied up with end of the semester projects. Maybe next week.

Man, I am so tempted. I am afraid my kids aren't old enough to handle the loudness and the fumes..However I wish I was still single so I can go and chat with those Japanese Umbrella girls.

Rallyshark · « **Reply #132 on:** May 06, 2016, 08:33:31 PM »

The umbrella girls and the tire company girls are nice, yes. That aside, we are talking about 900+ horsepower cars going sideways at 100mph, and a lot of tire smoke! How old are your kids? That's what they make ear plugs for

I've seen many people take their kids. The stupid music they play is louder than the cars sometimes,lol! They aren't nearly as loud as the road racing is there.

What's next weekend looking like? Sunday afternoon maybe?

tinsoldier · « **Reply #134 on:** May 07, 2016, 12:53:49 PM »

I am down for Next Sunday afternoon. I sold my Marauder Bullpup.

So now I am only down to 2 guns.

GD Giles · « **Reply #135 on:** May 07, 2016, 12:57:57 PM »

The Cricket and the Slayer? Two nice guns to have! Would've loved to have shot that Mrod bullpup though.

tinsoldier · « **Reply #136 on:** May 07, 2016, 02:34:31 PM »

The Mrod Bullpup was a practical gun. Should have kept it but needed to free up some funds for the .30 CAL Impact.

However it seems like they won't be in stock for 5-6 months. Going to call up AOA on Monday to see. I have a friend that lives in Sweden. Maybe I can get him to check availability. But I don't think it would be any cheaper and the hassles of sending it to the U.S.

blackdiesel · « **Reply #137 on:** May 07, 2016, 02:47:05 PM »

Man your M-rod sold quick. I just saw the ad yesterday. I should be free next Sunday also.

blackdiesel · « **Reply #138 on:** May 07, 2016, 03:01:34 PM »

Trinh did you finish building your fill assembly? I changed mine around a little. I was going to put gauges to show the pressure in the tank and going to the rifle. I decided to just have one gauge to show the pressure to the rifle.

GD Giles · « **Reply #139 on:** May 07, 2016, 03:21:08 PM »

10% chance of rain 85 for a high Sunday afternoon.
