    Thanks PocketRocket, seen your HPDE ones, Gonna have a crack at that v.soon :-) will get myself a "double theraband gold" next payday. What can I shoot then?

    hi everyone, I was just wondering what sort of bands I should use for hunting, and also what I can shoot, in real terms and also legally (I live close to a city and one of my permissions I have to be quite careful with). I've a barnett catapult and a no-brand cheap catapult but I've only used them to shoot the birds/rats the neighbours cat leaves in my garden (I wake up to it in the morning and cba get up to deal with, catty out the window lets me get back to sleep). mercy killings rather than hunting. All but once they'd died straight away, but the cat... shall we say does most of the work.

    WOW I'm gonna give this a go ASAP, is their any options for DIY bands?

    This is my opinel... I'm not so keen, but I don't take very good care of my things lol. spent a week in the mud when I stormed off home after a shit days shooting, when I came back it was mucky and abit rusted, and when I got round to cleaning it, well you can see how bad the rust is...

    It does make a difference, a rabbits gonna drop faster with a 200ftlb .303 than a 9ftlb .22 air rifle pellet (the biggest irony of anti's campaigning for gun control is that if we had access to higher power weapons, kills would be quicker and more humane. When people can only carry 5.5ftlb air pistols on farms your gonna wing more pidgeons than you dispatch with a clean shot). A compitant shooter can manage with lower power, I'm fairly happy with 10.5 ftlb air rifle for popping the odd rabbit, but I wouldn't use a 9ftlb, as I'm not convinced I could judge the range/be accurate enough, but I'm

    does he have a hunting handle? its black about 12 inches long, with 2 balls at one end, it vibrates and may occasionly come home with mud on... If so your probably gonna wanna find a new man.

    I've managed with a 10.5ftlb* .22 before, you've just gotta be realistic with range and only take headshots. great video, always interesting to watch other people hunting. :-)

    I have to agree with the critics... I'd f***ing love a .303, and if I had the money and a FAC I'd deffo consider a Daystate Wolverine, but sub 12ft and in a .177 or .22 I can't see the point in spending that kind of money. Plenty of decent sub 12ft guns that don't cost a bomb out their.

    Knife ??

    That looks sexy.... The sheath doesn't match though does it? unless its a perfect fit I'd suspect the sheath didn't come with the blade.

    LMFAO and I'm the one on drugs? hahaha

    cheers for explaining that, yeah I've seen that once or twise, I buy the expensive RWS posh ones, and they are pretty good, can get a very small grouping on paper, and haven't had many issues hunting. Then again I mostly shoot rabbits, not much wriggle room if your shooting rats.
  12. boblikesguns
    yeah, but what the hell is it gonna look like in the pot? I'm happy to pop a few glow in the darks, but I don't fancy eating em!

    Gonads sir, total gonads! .177 will drop rabbits, pigeons, squirrels, rats, pheasants and partridges with ease! All you have to do is hit them in the right area! I took 2 rabbits last night using .177, the first at 60 metres and the second at 45 metres! I was using a sub 12 BSA Super 10 that has been tuned by it's designer, but it is still a sub 12 .177! I must have been shooting a shit rifle then, then again they say its a bad workman who blames his tools maybe I should head down to the gun shop next payday and have another go....

    I order 100 at a time and get em roughly 50p a capsule, would LOVE to know where to get them any cheaper than that. You've been had mate Just looked at the place I used to get em from years ago, they're doing em in boxes of 50 now at 19:99 I used to get em from here : http://www.tyreinflators.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=262&category=16 Never used to have all that safety information on the page either nor did they check out my age! theirs a fiver on shipping, making it £24.98 for 50, 2p short of 50p each, lol, think prices are hiked everywhere. oh we

    sorry I've noticed everyone on this forum seems to only use domed pellets. I almost always go for pointed for rabbits or h-point for rats as they've always seemed to work better, (pointed more penetration, h-point more impact). Whats the crack, am I wrong, or do you guys just not think its worth the extra 20p on the tin for what you get?
  16. boblikesguns
    If your willing to venture away from the domed pellets, RWS do a hollowpoint pellet, they pack more of a punch and expand much more on impact, they might do the trick for you. I'm a firm beliver in the .22 though, .177 just doesn't pack the punch you need for birds/pests.

    I've a crosman 2240 in .22 cal and its great for plinking, makes a nice bit of noise for an airpistol too. Don't listen to what the box says though, it's not powerful enough for pest control.

    Hi my names Bob, I've heard alot about this forum, so thought I'd give it a go. I'm into shooting (mostly air rifles as I've no FAC), survivalism and bit of hunting with my mates. anyway, just thought I'd say hi. Bob
