bigmac 97kt 13,814 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Was i expecting to much with the hw100 after every one boosting them up on how good they are. well to say i was not impressed with it is an understatement set the zero distance at 30 yards and was putting pellet on pellet so was well happy but did still have the odd flyer using jsb exacts 15,89 to cut a long story short took three shots at three rabbits and mist three rabbits and if i had took the same shots with the 97 or i would have them in the freezer now so im going to lead the barrel out with a few tins of pellets and give her another go and if im still not happy she is going full stop by the way she is fitted with mtc mambers and i no the scope is mint iv had this scope as you all no on most of my rifles including the springers and have all ways been spot on O, and i have to fit a gun sling there fecking heavy rifles atvbmac :thumbs: 1 Quote Link to post

barrywhite 282 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) sometimes my shooting gets messed up , after shooting a pcp for a while then changing to a spring gun or vice versa you have to hold the spring gun loose and hold the pcp firm when shooting ,well I done .I feel the spring gun is a bit like a gyroscope for a split second when you pull the trigger and a pcp is like a gyroscope that is not spinning so you have to hold the gun . I forget this when changing from one gun to the other . Edited July 5, 2015 by barrywhite 1 Quote Link to post

It's a new rifle that you haven't really tried yet, it handles differently. I think you should forget the rabbits for a few days, just get out in a field with some knockdowns or plinking targets like those toy soldiers in the pound shops and concentrate on getting to know the rifle properly, do it at night as well to simulate lamping and you might find it helps. Spot on and thats what im going to do the raider is gone full stop time to make another legend a hw100 to put all 100,s to shame now iv just got to learn to shoot the fecking thing lol atvbmac :thumbs: 1 Quote Link to post
vizlauk 1,568 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Do as I did, spend a night plinking as I did, get to know the gun! As I said last night its not the gun it's you mate, rushing it will get you no where. 3 Quote Link to post
