Greetings from up north.

Hi all,
a newbie from Finland here. Getting back to airguns after 30+ years off.
Used to shoot a Walther LGV quite extensively in my childhood, with some coaching from local shooters.
Due to a momentary lapse of reason sold it and have been sorry ever after..
Trying to start anew, received a Cometa Lynx .22 last week, and I'm 11 again.
In addition to pressurised impliments that go "ping", I spend my time with my family, dabble at archery, rock climbing and fishing. And reading a good book is never a waste of time.
Pleased to make your aqcuaintance.

Hey Slow, hurry up and make yourself at home! We're glad you're here!
"Due to a momentary lapse of reason sold it and have been sorry ever after.."
I expect that we all have a story similar to that. I can't tell you how many I have sold and later regretted doing so. But, it's nice to be able to search and find one like it again. It doesn't always happen but sometimes you get lucky.
Again, welcome bro.
