Nice one mate .

 

Its good to see more springers starting to come back into the section again .

 

There's just something special about shooting a well sorted and looked after springer that no pcp I have ever shot as ever managed to match.

Pcp's have a big place in hunting and pest control admittedly, and I like them myself for easy shooting and accuracy with little or no technique needed, but a springer is just something else.

hi si,sorry mate but i find that coment you made about lads that shoot pcp a little bit rude,and i quote [with little or no technique needed] you still have to read the wind,estamate the rainge'[unless you use a rainge finder all the time]regardless of what gun you shoot,i take my HAT of to you lads that shoot springers,but your post suggests that spring shooters are far better shots,if that is the case why not enter a pcp open,you should score 60 every time,becuase no technigue needed.sorry bud i aint having a pop at you,i just wanted to get my point a cross.

i was brought up with springers from the age of ten the old relum tornado and the likes and they hold a special place in my heart but not every one can use a springer where most can use a pc more easily,i love shooting bothe but on a nice calm day i love taking one of my springers out no need for a bottle or filling just a hand full of pellets and im set for a bit mooching

[zini 1,939]

Sorry Chaz if you took the comment out of context, it wasn't intended how you read it mate and I definitely wasn't having a pop at pcp shooters in anyway or form.

 

The comment was meant to be about the 2 different designs of rifle and how different they are to shoot, and not the blokes who shoot them .

 

Maybe it was bad wording on my part, so I apologise mate, you grumpy git .

 

I wasn't talking about competition level shooting either pal, and was getting at the fact that if you set up a pcp indoors off a sand bag and shoot it 10 times at a target just by pulling the trigger with the cross hairs on the target, and you then do it with a springer the results would be very different and in favour of the pcp by a big factor .

 

Hence little skill needed to get the better results I meant pal, but maybe should of conveyed it better .

 

In fact in some cases as Ive seen from people in the TA using my pcp's and them getting pretty acceptable results at 27 yards with no shooting skill what so ever (new shooters), point and shoot no marksmanship principles (MMSP) hitting knock downs and bottle tops etc which they no way would do I'm 100% sure so often with a springer given their same experience.

 

Obviously competition shooting, outside, at a target without no known range to the target, no range finder to assist you and in the wind is totally different and I know that first hand .

 

Sorry for upsetting you buddy (you must be getting old ) and I hope you accept my apology as I say it wasn't a dig at all at pcp shooters. I shoot one myself . Look at it in a different way and how it was meant mate (rifle and what's involved in the hold ect and not a dig at the pcp shooter).

 

Daz you should go around the HFT course with Chaz the next time mate and we will see who wins out of the 2 of you.

 

Si.
