sureshot.177 49 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Could just be bad placement missing all the vitals where you had a good shot Quote Link to post
Lewis Ste 245 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Are you both using the same pellets? Your barrel may suit different pellets. Have you tried grouping out to 40yards to find out your POA to POI? Do you have a consistent hold? Does your mate have the ability to shot out to 40yards with a springer? Few things to think about Quote Link to post
woodcote1 88 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Sounds like his shot placement is off. Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Accuracy is a lot more important than power. Quote Link to post
BenjaminCadd 109 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I would say its his accuracy not the rifle. Quote Link to post
barrywhite 282 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 chronograph both guns with the same pellets.then you will know Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 If it goes through a cupboard at 25 yds im sure it would go quite deep into a magpie at 40... Quote Link to post
silentshot1 206 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Sounds like your friend needs more time practising on paper and possibly with different pellets before he tries shooting anything else live. Quote Link to post
