Target session got competitive


Recommended Posts

Went out this morning with the girlfriends dad and brother for a bit of a zero session and just hitting a few knockdowns.

I was shooting a BSA r-10 177, the dad was using his BSA superten bull barrell also 177 and the brother was taking the piss and using a daystate airwolf 177.

After about three hours I was leading the way with the targets with nearly 10 pellets inside a target about a 10p size nearly every time,this was at about 30-35 yards.

We decided to put some milk bottle tops at distance and the airwolf took this one with a dead center shot at around 55 yards,leaning on a fallen tree.

With all the targets shotcto pieces and argumants still going strong about what gun had performed the best we decided to try some squirrell bashing from a few hides we'd previously built.

I let the missis dad have the first choice and he choose the hide which covers least of the tree line which was a result and me and the brother went off into ours which was a waste of time because after an hour all that had shown was a young rabbit which was left be,at least for now anyway.

We tok the last bit of daylight by walking round some oak trees which back onto the wood where the hides are built,it proved worthwhile because the trees where crawling with the things.I took the first two with the r-10 and the airwolf accounted for the third.I took a bonus rook at the end of the day to by gutting the squirrel ad leaving him under the oak whilst waiting for the others who both got caught short at pretty much the same time,any way cheers for reading an here's the end of day picture.

Edit for the picture,and to say look at the nuts on that bottom squirrell,id be proud of them.

Yeah the r-10 one the day and i'm gana hopefully book it in for a service soon as Its not indexing pellets everytime I pull the bolt, so hopefully be even better when I get it back.

 

I'll sort the picture when I can get on a conputr I'm doin it off the phone and can't work out how to get re picture on here.

Alright mate,I must admit the airwolf Is a proper tool but I wouldn't swap my r-10 for it,I think if you get a good r10 they perform just as good,ther ain't nothing his done with his airwolf that I haven't been able to match with the r-10 distance wise or accuracy wise,not really much difference through the chrono eava.Would be nice to have the airwolf shot capacity and the indexing of the magazine is a hundred times better than mine but hopefully I can get that soreted.

Cheers

nice read that buddy. personally, i love the look and feel of the superten b-barell and would hope to have one one day.

They are a nice rifle,deadly accurate to and light,I can't help but notice though that this one does seem to go off with a bit of a crack.
