Hi Shankar,

Shankar, we have pre-poned the date to the 18th. There is no problem if you want to use the PCP. Practice hitting a 3"x3" target from 5 to 35 yards. I suppose you have seen the videos and pictures and know what to expect.

If we have the BBQ, then the beers will be most welcome...for those who are not driving. :mrgreen:

No BBQ or Beer for Rusty. I'd get you some low-fat milk and Biscuits.

Also got the rifle cleaned.

You can't do that. I tell Maneka, that's cruelty...:-)

The rifle is quite good now... haven't checked the accuracy yet.
the dieseling has reduced to a great extent. :)

The one on the left is the Diana. the gun on the right is my Dad's H&R
