masmiffy 82 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Had an 'interesting' day with chimp! Started just after 8 to go look for some duck he couldnt pick the night before. It pi**ed down and we were soaked thro even went through my barbour overtrousers!! And we didnt find the duck!! Home for a cup of coffee. We then decided to give his 'new' quickset longnets an airing on a big warren under a tree on my permission. New to both of us but we thought we would give it a go! Ran the nets out and put down the ferts. Rabbits soon appeared but wouldnt 'leave home' finally got 2 to the net but there were more giving the ferts the run around. Gonna go back with all the ferts next time to see if we can budge em! Called at the farm to 'report' and got tea and cake! Bonus!! Finally decided to have a couple of hours with the air rifles in a wood further down the farm for an afternoon roosting pigeons. Chimp using his .177 A400 and me the trusty .22 Titan Manitou. Difficult shooting in a fairly strong breeze, and lots of twigs! Chimp managing one spectacular long shot knocking a pigeon from a high tree at around 40yds! In all we had a mixed bag 3 squirrels, around 8 pigeons and a 'sundrie' which will go well with chimps duck from the day before All in all an 'interesting' day in good company.

masmiffy 82 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Yep zini a good day for sure apart from the early soaking ! Pic of the Titan. Its long in the tooth now but shoots superb. Titan were the start of Falcon guns Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 They seem to be decent rifle's A friend of mine in Rotherham is rebuilding one I'm glad to see someone actually using one still. Nice going Phantom Quote Link to post
masmiffy 82 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 They are good no doubt about it. Same 'action' on nearly the whole range most with walther barrels John Bowkett was involved with Titan and he is a legend with PCP's Keep trying to find the cash to send it to him for a once over! One day!! Quote Link to post

zini 1,939 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Cheers Mas, The rifle looks a handy piece of equipment mate. How many full power shots do you get out of a fill? Zini Edited December 8, 2009 by zini Quote Link to post

masmiffy 82 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) zini I have never let it 'run out' so to speak but I guess around 65 - 70. I tend to put 60 pellets in a film canister and once they have gone I fill her up! At the moment with Air Arms Field (16.4grains?) the Titan is at 11.7ftlb or there abouts over my chrony 2 Seems to shoot sweet from fill to the last pellet but never tested it! John Bowkett could and would footprint it I am sure but cash is tight! If you wind it right up, and you cant much, it will touch 13.7ftlb You could get it way over but someone like John Bowkett would need to do it as it has to be machined out and cant be taken back to sub 12ftlb. Oh and FAC rules apply! Edited December 8, 2009 by masmiffy Quote Link to post
