DeSoto Airgunners</div> <bR> <div> Air rifle Field Target enthusiast  since 1999.    I  bought my first adult air rifle in 1995.  It is a TX200SR.  Though manufactured by Air Arms, mine carries an  RWS logo. ( They were the importers for a couple years here in the USA.)   It was just dumb luck that  my initial air rifle purchase turned out to be such a fine gun.   I have shot well over 14,000 pellets through that barrel.  Over the years nearly every part on the rig has been tweaked, modified  or customized.   It is an excellent shooter and I'll never part with it.   For years many  shooting friends  chided me for having this one and only field target rifle.</div> <bR> <div> Summer 2007 - When the Dow-Jones crossed 14,000 for the first time this Summer I felt like celebrating.  A good deal on a used LG100ZM Steyr came my way.  (Of course by the time the gun arrived and I was able to shoot it,  the stock market had "<I>corrected</I>" but that's life.)   I very much like my new Steyr and hope to campaign it in the 2008 Field Target season.   I'm also looking forward to doing those small tweaks and customizations to the Steyr .   It appears to be an excellent shooter...now if I can become one too.  [<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFCC66" FACE="Arial" ><I>Oh yes...I 'm also looking forward to Dow 15,000 </I></FONT>.]</div> <bR> <div> While I consider myself an average to good  shooter, I have had the pleasure of shooting "in -the-zone" on a couple occasions and have brought home a trophy or two along the way.  </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="385a3db0.jpg" border=0 width="163" height="219" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  2009  SuperBowl Shoot  3rd Place</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="15498c50.jpg" border=0 width="152" height="197" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">   2007  World Field Target Championships   6th Place</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1528ebd0.jpg" border=0 width="142" height="189" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  2007 Cajun Classic   Third Place</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="329a6840.jpg" border=0 width="166" height="132" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> 2007 SuperBowl Shoot  Fourth Place</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="14caf830.jpg" border=0 width="175" height="131" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  U.S. Nationals    2006    10th  Place</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="146af830.jpg" border=0 width="175" height="131" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  Florida State / Superbowl 2005   Fifth Place</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="14aaf830.jpg" border=0 width="175" height="131" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  Baton Rouge National Classic  2004  Fifth Place</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="148af830.jpg" border=0 width="175" height="131" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  Superbowl  2002  Fourth Place</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="14eaf830.jpg" border=0 width="175" height="131" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  I.R.A.
