Nagarifle, Mark, Hammerhead, Airgun_Novice,
Thanks U all for the welcome. I am actually setteled in Texas.
Shall stay in Touch. I am very very confused though about PB and NPB. Here is why .....
PB = Could mean 2 things. Permitted Bore and also Prohibited Bore.
Similarly NPB = Could mean 2 things. Non Prohibited Bore and also Non Permitted Bore.
Regards !
Aeronauteek

Are you in DFW by any chance ? They used to have a couple of good ranges (indoors) there where they even 'rented' out Eagle .38. Fort Worth also has a good range - forgot all the details - left TX in 1996.

Hello Airgun_Novice :
Yes I am in the DFW Area. Now there are many Ranges all over DFW. Out door and Indoor Ranges.
In my area itself there are about 5 good ones.

They even had a rodeo cum free shootout championship in the Forth Worth area where "cowboys" enacted shootout (on glass bottles and cattle skulls, thankfully) from horseback; that too in motion. Plus of course the usual stuff - lasso, bull fight etc. Kids even had special calves to do theirs. :-) The area smelt heavily of leather and dung; but boy ! One should see their silver belt buckles - the size of saucers. As they say "Everything's big in TX" :-) But nice place. Though I liked it there I still preferred AZ where I spent subsequent 2 years. I spent over 2 yr in Beaumont near Houston and then 2 in Arlington (DFW). I remember once when we went to a "redneck", err, cowboy joint named Bull Pit or something such in Fort Worth and all my friends like the rest of 'em fellers ordered steak and beer (that too "Bud") while I asked for buffalo wings and wine - the few gents and the ladies too turned around and stared at me with "This Man is from Mars" look. :-) BTW, wonder if Iguana and Mirage 2000 dance clubs still exist in Dallas ??? Ah - the memories.. hee-haw !
