    Has anyone tried these in .177 sub 12, if so are they any good and up to what distance. I am just being lazy and my rfd has run out at the moment so I will get some to try when back in stocck. I can see they may well be very good in fac but in sub 12 I am not convinced. Any thoughts guys. Phil

    You guys may well know all about Tom's Targets but I didn't so this was quite interesting. As some of you know I used to do quite a bit of bell target shooting which I really enjoyed but the travel to and back during winter on a frosty evening out in the wilds of Lincolnshire did not appeal to me so I packed it in but I saw on fb about these targets noticing he does a bell target for home use which I am going to get for the garden but I thought I would just share his website with you if it was of interest. He also makes targets for both rimfire and centrefire as well as airgun and a rather nic

    I forgot to ask, where did you get the blue mounts from Jimmy.

    More accurate than the Impact ???

    I have also been getting a bit of feedback from another forum I am a member of and the word is that HV are not very accurate which ties in with your comments..

    Love that, what a wonderful wall piece that would make.

    Yes they are a bit. I have no idea what the max range is I don't know but they were doing touching groups at the short 18mt range. I really fancy one for target, I would not hunt with one but again my quarry perm would be a wonderful venue for the crossbow.

    We are all enjoying ourselves and getting well used to the bows. My grandson thinks he is stronger than he is and is always wanting to increase the power but what he does not know, I keep turning it down when I see that he is struggling with the extra power I have given him With the weather being so wet, in fact it is the worst winter for rain on record so we are sticking with the indoor range which is 18mts. Groups do vary I confess and I have come down to 12'' targets so the groups never look at good as they did on the 4' target. My wife has done some lovely groups getting down to aro

    Well it has been nearly a month since my last post and to be honest I have had 4 more attempts to produce a decent finish but I have to tell you that it has not been successful. With a huge repair on the car, I really needed to watch my pennies (and that is about all that is left) so I have the car spray paint / gloss finish and that despite any other thoughts of cerekoting, that is the route I am going. This gun will still give pleasure in shooting it both in my garden and at my RFD's indoor 25mt range and that is all I ever wanted. The metalwork will be grey with the blue stock and I think

    Having recently bought another rimmy, CZ452 which I am really pleased with so far. My normal shooting on bunnies has always been using RWS subs and with no reason to think otherwise I zeroed the gun the other day at 60yds having changed the scope and whilst the poi was good I was seeing the bullet 's flight on a few shots as the sun and very pale background made it stand out. I confess, I have never seen a bullets flight before and these were a new batch of ammo but the point of this is that for the first time I saw how ' loopy ' the line of flight was. I was taken a back somewhat seeing this

    Today was the debate regarding the merging of S2 into S1 and whilst it is quite long, it well worth watching. Phil

    To be honest I am not sure the best way to report them, I have sent Ian the odd message but don't know if that is the right way.

    I remember 'Ted's Holdover ' in the USA swears by Hades in his FX Impact guns and regards them as the best hunting pellet although I believe he now uses slugs more than pellets. They are a pellet I have never tried, in part due to the small stock of .25 cal pellets that I needed but they are on my radar to try in my .177 sub 12.

    Only if the air rifle is 'full power'. In the UK, if an air rifle is below 12fpe, no license is required but over 12fpe, a firearms license is required and that is not always easy to get and has to be approved by the police. Now you know why in UK we have to shoot our live quarry through the head in the main if shooting with 12fpe guns. Each fac gun we buy, we have to get what is called a 'variation' to our fac license or what we call a 'slot', for example, I have just sold my .22 rimfire back to the shop as it was not accurate but before I could buy another rimfire of the same cal, I had to

    You are lucky as we have to jump through hoops to get a firearms license. I have had two Impacts .25 fac (full power), really good guns although mine were the earlier models, Mk1 and 2 so not suited to slugs however 25.4gr Air Arms Field pellets certainly did the business. I no longer have them switching to rimfire as part of a reorganisation in my shooting. Phil

    My pal uses a Tika Tx3 and swears by it. Give Forest Lodge Guns a call for the best advice.

    C3 is good and a lot cheaper than BASC or CPSA and you can upgrade to full legal cover. Phil
