Fun Supply

I even got to talk to James on the phone once.  He was hoping I could do some mass-quantity tuning for him--as in 'by the crate' type of quantities, but unfortunately that's not how I was set up to do business so we couldn't reach an agreement.  I would have liked to have accommodated him, though, especially after I heard how things had been going pretty rough for him.  I still do them just one at a time, I don't have mass-quantity output ability, as I try to give each one some attention different from the last one got if that's what it needs.

Thanks for remembering James and how this all got started.  Wouldn't he just scratch his head in disbelief if he could read all this info about these new-fangled PCP things that everyone has now!

I started the American Airguns website back in 1995 primarily because I got my first Internet ready computer and started searching the web for airgun sites and there were none.  So I decided to start my own site and the American Airguns site went live in late October of 1995.  After about three or four months the Airgun Letter started the first airgun forum on the web.

The Airgun Letter lasted a good while but got to be too much work for the Gaylords and they shut it down. That was when James stepped up and started the Yellow forum and the rest is history. I communicated with James over the years in dealing with issues with our sites and he was alway a great guy. He spent a lot of his personal time running the site and his efforts proved to be a huge benefit to the airgun community. 

I found Fun Supply years ago.  Made a call to James and purchased a B19 22cal. Still own it and it still shoots accurately and with good power, just as James described it to me.   He was a fine man.  RIP James. 

I also bought my first B 19 .177 from James.  Still have it and its a good shooter.  I think back then, we still had dial-up internet AOL.  Time flies when you're having fun.

Not to be "that guy" (Mr. Brown noser), but I think that Steve and the mods should get some equal props for keeping the Yellow going, and allowing it to grow into this new Fun and engaging platform. 

I'm still getting the used to the new forum, but I am glad it's alive and well. I have been here now for at least a decade. And, although I am not an original member from way back when, I do have some invested time here. 

I find the forum as much fun as shooting, sometimes more. I sometimes lurk around at the other forums, but I am a proud member here.

them was some great times ..........  ? 

I didn't save any of the promo photo's but I remember a well equipped lady with mostly just a smile holding them.

I did get my CC zoomed once there but I don't know if I got spoofed or hacked. Bank covered it.

It was Brad Troyer who brought me back into airguns with his review of the Air Arms Pro Target. I lusted for one for years and ended up with an EV2 and a whole lot of other airguns. Check out Brad's extensive and excellent airgun reviews via the link on his Classifieds page. Thanks, Brad!

Remember the Ginseng tea James use to sell on the site. He advertised it by saying He once worked 24 hours a day for 7 days with only taking one serving every day. Always wonder about that tea.

Bought from James as well -- and found the Yellow Forum via Fun Supply.

I sometimes look at other forums but it was the yellow that got me started way back.  Unless I somehow manage to increase my fee time significantly, I will remain active here only.  I was a heavy poster when I first got into it at like 16-17yo.  Those b-18 and 19s sure were popular there for a while...around the same time as the maxzbulk craze on 2240.  Nowadays its pcp conversions and pcp products.

Yeah James yellow site was the first real airgun forum I ever used in the 90's, believe I bought an XS b3 from James back then and still have that gun.  Has to be one of the biggest contributions to the airgun world really.
