darkdd81 36 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hey Guys In the next few days (when the wind dies down/or if i can get into my indoor range), i intend on doing some more longe range practice with my TX200hc out to 50yards. As i have sold my pcp, i am really keen on improving my skills with my springers. As soon as this is done, i will post the results on this thread. Any of you guys want to share some of your results out to 50 yards? (Springers only for this one) I know there is a lot of good shots using this forum (Pianoman,Zini etc....) So how about we we post them on this thread. Does'nt matter what calibre, indoor or outdoor, smk or Whiscombe just as long as its a springer or gas ram. All the best Quote Link to post

zini 1,939 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 When VHTV release the VHTV Spectre review you will see a 55 yard 5 shot group that is pretty handy being shot. We also pick up a new tuned SFS springer at the weekend that my Laura bought for me that we will be reviewing so ill try some groups with that too. Si. Quote Link to post

Mawders 595 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Ha ha I'll have a go at this tomorrow if the weather holds off! Quote Link to post
darkdd81 36 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Had a go tonight at 35 yards, big eye opener. Weather was calm so all should have been plane sailing but groups started out going everywhere. After 40 odd shots things started to tighten up. My best was a 5 shout group around the the size of a 10 pence piece, but I have done better before with this rifle. May have been an off day, I don't know. I found I would get 3 out of five on top of each other and I would be thinking I was on for a great group, then the next two would be either low, high or to the right. Gives me a new appreciation for you guys who post on here getting pellet on pellet at these sort of ranges. Have to love the trials and tribulations of shooting a springer! I'll get my slr charged at the weekend and put some photos up for you guys to ridicule!! Lol All the best. Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 its problab;y after shooting a pcp for ages you have gotten sloppy..... it will come back to you after time and practice. the spring-piston air rifle can be a harsh mistress! lol Quote Link to post

mhopton 807 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I can get good grouping with my 77 k at 50yrds just set my sights for 40 yrds and get the feel for the rest after a few shots atb mark Quote Link to post
darkdd81 36 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 cheers Davy.lol!! Quote Link to post
milegajo 595 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I've got similar plans for another .22 HW77. If you fancy some company we could have a shoot off. Think I'll take Davys excellent advice too, I find the same thing as shown in my HW77 video, plus i'll save money! Quote Link to post
mhopton 807 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 My hw77k is also a .22 never took much fancy to the 177 if you've got to much power or to close they DO go strait through with out killing which is a bummer cos some times you think you are missing but .22 is better for fur which I shoot at up to 50 and some times a little further depending on wind but like I said zero my scope in to 40 yrds and iam happy atb mark Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 So at 30 yards you will have a lot of hold under or do you just shoot a 35 yards plus Quote Link to post
