Hi there,
My name is Darren and I started shooting again a little over a year ago after many (30) years layoff.
I had a little pellet gun as a kid and also did some trap shooting with a buddy up in Duncan growing up.
I picked up a Crosman Optimus air rifle last year and started shooting with the airgunners in North Saanich on Wednesday nights and found out I still enjoy the sport. Being a golfer as well, I find many of the skills to be transferrable/interchangeable, which has definitely helped my golf game!
I'll be posting my Optimus up for sale, as I'd like to go from a springer to s single-stroke pneumatic for 10m air.
Cheers,
Darren

Hi, Darren!
Ex-Victoria native here.
Look into the Daisy 953 for an economical and accurate single stroke pneumatic air rifle (sometimes on sale at Princess Auto for about $60!).
BTW - you might want to post a pic with the current date and your name on your air rifle up for sale (due to some problems with scammers here lately).
Plus - you should also include what forms of payment you accept.
Just some suggestions...

Hey Darren!
Welcome aboard!
I am down in Langford and would like to find how to join in this North Saanich shooting league!?!?
I am a machinist by trade and semi-retired, for another month that is Lol!
Follow what Doug instructed you to do and you should' have any hassles selling your Crosman. You looking for a pistol or rifle for 10m?
Cheers!

Hi guys!
I am a total newbie at selling online (excluding Used Victoria).
What should I accept as payment?
Rick-i just looked online and found the Wednesday night shooting event from 6-8pm. It is really casual-just show up, sign into the range and pay $1 for eight targets. If you are a member of the Victoria Precision Shooters, the targets are no charge.
Now that golf season is winding down, I am going to look into the Sunday airgunning in North Saanich, too. I believe it is in the morning.
Doug-that is exactly the model I am looking at-the fellow who shoots next to me has one, and I am way more accurate with his. signed up for the Princess Auto online Flyer's, too...
Thanks a million!

Re: Hi from Victoria BC
Being an ex-golfer of more than 40 years (no bones don't bend no mo!), I can confirm several similarities, especially the one that says, "In for a dime and you're in for $1,000 - $2,000 a year (IF you can live with having a long wish list)Being a golfer as well, I find many of the skills to be transferrable/interchangeable, which has definitely helped my golf game!

Wow, it's been awhile!
Airgun adventures continue-still shooting at North Saanich on Wednesdays and have changed equipment a couple of times.
Currently shooting an Anschutz LG380, which will be for sale after I chrono it and figure out if a PAL is needed or not and it's replacement, a Feinwerkbau 500. Lovely rifles to shoot, but pcp is just so much lighter!
Pistol-wise, I am moving on from a Weihrauch HW40 to a newly-ordered Hammerli AP20 Pro.
I am afraid I'm waaaay down the rabbit hole now, but it's loads of fun.
Got my PAL a while back and have also gotten into .22 rifle shooting, offhand, probe, kneeling and benched.
Keep them in the black and have fun!
