Dear all,
What a feeling !!! Meeting with y'all of CMG. Though we stay in touch with each other over the phone/ WA and all that personal interaction simply beats the technology in terms of emotions and the depth of ecstasy. CMG y'all rock and thus may we continue to roll.
What to say of PH office ? It's simply but tastefully designed that makes you feel at ease and yet does not lose sight of its direction - that is innovation in terms of air guns and related products. One wall as in prior location is dedicated solely to the products in market and in pipeline. The decor not only covers the karbins and nitro-piston and the spring products but also springs up with the odd surprise element of riding boots a camp ax a telescope and those peep sights !
Peep sights ??? Yup, we shall soon see quality India produced peep sights in the markets which will turn those .177 into actuall competition tools for adults ... at a wonderfully low price level. I must add my disclaimer that entry and mid level products even with quality peep sights do not stand against those wonderfully crafted products from Walter/ FWD or Ahg. But now these innovations will let you, the novice, to stand beside them in club/ district level competitions and actually compete with them. And hey, you simply might find yourself in a good position ... after the results are declared.
Air Pistols far better than Indian products I have used are in pipeline - alas, we could only shoot .22. .177 are still getting assembled and expected to join their .22 brethren soon. What power these little bunnies pack. Imagine .22 shoot over 10m consistently and with purpose. I own a .22 air pistol from IHP and I kid thee not the PH .22 thrilled me more. Of course, these are for general pleasure and not for winning a round metal at any competitive event. Do not jump the guns, the horses or the forum with "But can they be modified?" types questions.
Sure sure - go ahead - build a howitzer outta one, if you can. I am simply satisfied with the bang in my hands and the bang for bucks in my pockets. (Nopes, I have not booked any yet <- disclaimer LOL )
Topic that came up for discussion and feedback was about some complaints regarding the quality of .22 pellets recently found in some parts of market and guess what - strong attention is getting paid. Does that mean PH will add in a separate production line and hereafter Precipellets will be manufactured at home under an observant QA team ? Such an initiative takes time and INVESTMENT. While initial investment is large and prompt the returns thereon take time... often years. So such capital intensive decisions be best left to the Company.
The Indian shooting fraternity have put in a lot of faith in PH in a very short time. Now we also put in a lot of expectations. We never bothered lecturing any of the AR producing companies about the quality of their products. We never bothered lecturing AP producing companies on how the pellet shot from their products is expected to to traverse at least 10m and hit the spot somewhat accurately. We never lectured most of pellet producers on how the skirt should be round and uniform or how the heads should be un-dented or how uniform the weight of individual pellet must be. And yet we expect a lot and *everything* from PH. Are we harsh on them ? Well, may be. And why not ??? PH aimed and has delivered products above the average of what we got till date and rather consistently. So it is but natural that we desire for more - "yeh dil maange more".
It may not be our right nor even our privilege but definitely our desire to see the shooting landscape of air gun industry change for better. Let happy days continue to be here for us - let PH continue to show us some "acchhe din".
But what I await and patiently so is the real treat - the PCP. Will the PCP AR be followed by a PCP AP ? For that I keep my fingers crossed.
DISCLAMER: My 2 cents worth of thoughts and musings. They might be music to some ears and cacophony to some others. Irrespective - the standard disclaimers apply.
And yes, Moin we missed you. Hope you have learnt to make as good a "dhokla" as a knife by now.
