Newbie from South Africa

Hi Guys 

I am new on the forum but myself and my family are totally addicted to airguns. Have been shooting quite a while but had some extensive neck surgery and haven't been active for the last year . However this year I can feel the air in my veins. Thank you for the privilege of being part off this . Some pics of previous outings with the kids and their first trophies

.

Welcome!

Looks like you and your family are quite capable hunters and have a nice collection of fine rifles. That's an amazing variety of game pictured!

Welcome to AGN !

Wow ! That is impressive indeed. I hope we see much more from you in the future.

Nice to (sort of) meet you, S. I've only met a few South Africans, but have found them possessing of excellent senses of humor. Looks like you have fertile grounds for airgunning. Congratulations.

I'm in Texas. That's in the U.S. (geographically, anyway). This is our state mascot (the animal, not the pistol). These things are known to carry leprosy, terrorize little old ladies and children, and are hell on a man's Bermuda lawn! This is a big one... Rather, WAS a big one.

Welcome to the gang! Looking forward to your unique perspective from SA.

LOADS of experienced and knowledgeable folks here.

Btw;In Tennessee we called those armadillos "Possum on the half shell".

"Possum on the half shell". I LIKE IT!

They do NOT taste like chicken however.

 Possum on the half shell Lol thats a good one . However that mascot wont be up to mischief any time soon. Thank you very much for the warm welcome . I will post some pics off my rocky decoy setup .

This year will be a fresh start . The medical bills for my surgery was very high . Proper medical care in South Africa are extremely expensive . Needless to say the guns had to go however I managed to save one with sentimental value. The trusty old Bsa Hornet. So now it's time decide what would be the next gun . Dreamline? Priest? Still need to make my mind up .

FWIW, I've heard 'possum on-the half-shell tastes a lot like Poodle fricassee, but can't confirm it. To me, they taste something like Chihuahua tacos.

BTW, before any overly-politically-correct individual(s) gets their panties in a wad, that's a joke!
