Please any advice on where to get air tanks filled in Bend Oregon ?

I apologize if this is not the right forum section to ask. I most likely will need to move to Bend Oregon and cannot locate an airgun store or at the least place to fill airtanks in Bend.

Also would love to join an airgun club or airgun benchrest matches around central Oregon. Would like to shoot 50 and 100 yard matches if possible. On the rimfire side there is nothing close by all are 3 to 6 hours drive

Any and all advice welcome. Tnx 




 
I live in Prineville, 45 miles east of you, I have lived here off and on for years. I never could find a place to fill my guns. I doubt the BFD will fill it either due to civil concerns.

I recently bought a Altaros Booster that I use to fill my tanks, it is slow though. I used Shoebox compressors for years, but that road is a dead end now.

My daughter and her husband have 80 scuba tanks and the franchise for the Hyatt and other hotels on Maui. Although they can’t help you, I will ask them if they know of a dive shop in Bend.

Maybe try a smaller town fire dpt and go in and ask if they would consider refilling your air tank for you because you can't locate anywhere else. Thank them for their service as a first responder, and be super nice and I bet they say bring it over. When you show up, might be a good idea to bring a pizza or breakfast sandwiches or something to thank them.. you make friends with them and you'll have a fill source any time you need it and I would guess someone on that dpt will catch wind of why you are wanting the air and you'll have a shooting buddy or two as well. 

This of course is assuming you have a SCBA and aren't shooting big bore and needing several takes every day... if you have another tank or a valve that's not a normal cga347 then you'll need to take an adapter with you as well. 

I would think a major city FD would say no due to city liability reasons, just a guess tho.
