The Bell Target

[goz1960 52]

Had a great afternoon with Davy thomas and Si Pittaway trying to hit Davys bell target, managed it after several attempts with my 177 Airarms TX200 and then after many attempts with .22. All in all a great afternoon was had and enjoyed watching two great marksman at work.

Hi Nigel,

 

Nice to see you on here mate.

 

Glad you enjoyed the bit of fun we had this afternoon with the .177 TX200HC and the 2 x S2 tuned .22 HW97KTs.

 

You did really well mate with your TX after getting it zeroed, and all your shots including any misses would of humanely killed any of the UK legal vermin species.

 

Hitting a 8mm bell target at that range isnt a easy task as many pcp shooters that have tried at the various meets and at Davy's will tell you so fair play to you pal.

Ohhh now that sounds like an awesome challenge! What range are we talking? I was hitting drawing pin heads at a lased 30 yards today with s2 tuned 97kt. Sounds fun.

We have a bell target at our club. Its at 25metre and theres a .177 hole and a .22 hole its great fun hitting it with my hw100 wouldnt mind trying a springer

Was this fun taking pat in Oxfordshire or Wiltshire? either way I missed out. The way Davy and Si going I can see an OBE, MBE or even maybe Knighthoods. Well done lads for being so helpful, AGAIN.

Nice to hear you had a good afternoon goz, I've not had the pleasure of meeting Si or Davy but from the brief conversations I've had with Si over the phone and the correspondance I've had with Davy on here they both seem like cracking chaps!

 

Just a shame you're all down bloody south!

Made my own version tonight after work, must admit it has two holes one the same as davys and one a little easier.

[zini 1,939]

Thanks Elliott pal.

 

Real nice chewing the fat with you on the phone.

 

Real hunters come from the south. Lol.

[zini 1,939]
