Tx 200Hc .177 At Work


Recommended Posts

Well lads here`s the first springer session in two years - yesterday, for three and a half hours.

I had to follow the pigeons and build a temporary hide, (which i hate doing) and took them off my cheapo shooting sticks , I`m buying Primos sticks very soon.

All shot through the engine room or head at an average of 35- 45 yds with Air Arms 8.4 grain fields. The main tactic i use is "never" use plastic decoys as much as possible, only ever dead birds on cradles.

The AA fields absolutely hammered home with the T-Rex.

The corvid taken was dropped at 46 yds (like a brick) midway through one of it`s "caws". :yes: ( heart lung).- big bugger too, size of two pigeons.

Hi random, took the TX out again since but didn`t bother to say.

Took her to the farm yard for an hour and took four wood pigeon with four shots. Nothing special mind, she is just paying back very well :yes: .

Outstanding springer to work with.

My best tally for wood pigeon was last year with the HW 100 kt .177, i took 44 in one session of nearly 7 hrs but had no camera, this year is 18 and a corvid in 3- 31/2 hours with the T Rex and photographed.( Above first photo)

Great shooting pal. Was you using decoys.

Aye up Jason,

Yes mate the plastic crap for half an hour, (horse shoe method) then as i shot a few i went onto dead pigeons on cradles, - far, far better.

I`m thinking of doing a dawn to dusk session with the HW 100 kt one week and then same again the following week with the T Rex if i can fit work around crop cutting :hmm: .

I`ve saved and frozen 6 fully feathered woodies and the corvid for the next session.
