hw97k 36 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 first let me just say its a pleasure to see and here someone whos on top of thier game and i dont mean that to patronise you,you seem to honestly know what youre on about because youve done it practically and not just jumped on the band wagon .right on with a question if you dont mind, in your opinion is it easier and quicker to learn to shoot a .177 than a .22 i.e.because of holdover e.t.c.or is that part of getting to know your gun and showing your own limits with it?thanks mate.

Rake aboot 4,936 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I THINK!! No, it`s no more difficult. The simple fact is the best way to learn is to practice,,again and again. even Si will admit.. you can shoot just as accurately with a 177 as a 22 and learning the charecteristics of both is just the same, no easier for one than for the other. You learn the holdover required no matter what youre shooting. sure there may be less required, but that does not make it easier ,just different., you also have windage effect etc ,which lots will say is lessened when using a 22 due to heavier pellets and so on. Si will be along soon with a detailed ballistic breakdown of each calibre etc etc lol But I`m "almost" sure he`ll agree ATB Quote Link to post

zini 1,939 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the kind comments HW97K I see that lads have already given you a answer so i will leave it at that. . That sort of question if you just wanted my opinion really needed to be done by PM buddy and not in the open forum as I can see and read between the lines how you have obviously upset some of the section regulars. Just be aware mate I am still learning myself and dont know everything so am not the be all and end all of shooting with a air rifle . There are lots of regulars in here with much more experience and skill than me so getting a wider answer from many in a open forum rather than just from me would be better . ATB Si.

zini 1,939 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I do hope Si catches this post 'cos otherwise an answer will never be given as no one else will have a clue... Andy was this post aimed at me by any chance buddy? If so why? Si Quote Link to post

Andy was this post aimed at me by any chance buddy? If so why? Si No, Si, it wasn't. It was ment as a joke. I was just making the point that any one of a good few members could've answered the OP's question. I can see the bloke's a new member of THL and I can see he's clearly seen some of your vids and stuff and is impressed with what he's seen and rightly so As I've already posted a link to what you and some of the other guys have already said on this subject above, I'd like to think I've helped the OP out in some way....??

zini 1,939 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ok pal thanks for the reply buddy . Thats cleared things up mate cheers . ATB Si Quote Link to post
