Welcome to the forum! Glad to hear you have gotten into homemade large caliber airguns, it is a hobby that is most addicting.  ;D I moved from east TX (the Longview/Tyler area) to MO last September. Like Pellethuntr said, it gets quiet around here from time to time. Usually it means we are busy working on projects  ;D I've got 2 I'm working on right now - my .75 (10 gauge) deer hunter and a 10 round burst air machine gun in .375. Anyhow, I look forward to getting your input on the forum and hope you find our equally inspiring.

I'm kinda embarrassed to admit that though I have lived a total of 16 years off and on in MO, the Lake of the Ozarks is the only big lake I've fished.  :-[ I've had pretty good luck on bass, crappie, and catfish there. I've been wanting to do some trout fishing in Lake Taneycomo, but that is a couple of hours away. The county (Phelps) I live in has more miles of trout stream than the rest of the state put together, so I fish pretty close to home most of the time.  ;D We have great smallmouth bass fishing in the local area as well!
