I,m just introducing myself to forum.
I,m a veteran of the Royal Engineers . Yes I,m a brit from Northern ireland(uk) ,now resident of this wonderful country of Canada.
So I have good knowledge of weapons and explosives.And have many airguns,most left behind in NI, due to ftlb limits being half of UK legal limit 12ftlbs. So my weihrauch HW80k, HW77k and crosman 2100 stayed.
Here I own Crosman Fire , Crosman Optimus and New and first pcp Artemis pr900w, this is a beautiful weapon light slick , powerful and can ve tuned easily.very accurate and cheap.
Well cheers
Mike

Welcome to the forum. It seems that you don't have a PAL license so your airguns are the under 500 fps types (about 8 ftlb in .22 cal). If you want a 12 ft lb gun, you can get a .25 cal in non-PAL. Which part of Canada are you located? Have a great stay. :drinkers: <--- yes it's a Guinness.

Welcome to the forum R.E.606. It's a good place.
I suggest you join a club and get your possession acquisition license, then there is no FPE limit.
You can even get a .338 Lapua if you so desire.

Thanks to All.good to be welcomed. I,m saving for PAL..And looking some land to shoot on!
We may have more ft-lbs limit in UK, and can buy pellets off the shelf. BUT where I,m from owning any weapon is hard process as you may or not know we were at war for 30 yrs "The Troubles" and I suppose we still are. That said if you ever go across the pond ,be sure to Visit NORTHERN IRELAND. Canadians I know we're welcomed and had a cracking time , seeing Giants causeway, Titanic museum and game of thrones scenery and exhibition. Not to mention free night drinking in Belfast, yes on Guiness which is thicker and creamer than here. so thanks again and if anyone knows land to plink or small pest on, please let me know. I,m in LETHBRIDGE

Welcome! I'm in Calgary where it is just slightly less windy than Lethbridge. Practicing in the wind will make us better, right?

Hello and welcome, Mike.

The 2025 World field target match is scheduled for Northern Ireland and has me planning to see if the trip is possible. I was over in England in 2019 for the World match and had a real good time shooting with some Welsh and English shooters. The pub attached to the hotel was a hopping place every evening. People from many countries were just happy to be there and be a part of it.

Looking forward to hearing some of your stories and opinions.

"Royal Engineers"?

You might look at doing some repair work to a road which you lot built and abandoned maintenance. It's parallel with BC Highway 3 and runs from near Hope, towards Bob's place at Coalmont.

Let us know when you're in the area as the range is close and lunch can be had.

In other words: Welcome to come shoot and look at some old stuff related to your history.
