Looking good there mark,you had it out at differing ranges and a bit of wind yet,what are they like at long range as well?

Hi mate,

Naar, windy days, are shotgun days, with my hunting mad GSP.

Still days, are air gunning days, with my hunting mad GSP.

Rainy days,are trapping days, with my hunting mad GSP.

Occasional days, are fecking shopping days, with my mad, angry wife.

 

 

Good Field Craft, - don`t need to do long ranges ( hopefully)

What's the furthest you go for with your air rifle as by long range I mean around 40,by windy I mean outside in the open and differing I mean what's the poi at say 15,20,25 30 etc if you aim dead on? Just interested in these lighter pellets now so after honest views

Hi mate, ok,-

 

My shooting is mostly .177 and has always been Air Arms Fields diablo 8.4 grain.( this last few years only).

I try and avoid "RANGE" like the plague, air gunning, because if your field craft, (most unspoken topic),is worth a light,you will never need more than 30 - 35 yds in most circumstances. ( i did say most) and FAC air is pointless, if you are any good, at "Field Craft".

An air rifle up to 50 yds and more is a most effective way of vermin control and utterly quiet to the surrounding countryside.

 

 

"Forget range, think field craft" !

 

Bettering my quarry by getting real close, is the trump card, in hunting with air guns.

Just had a delivery of two tins, Falcon Accuracy Plus .177 today and had a play a few minutes ago. I sent a mag (14) through the HW, then had a go at the target although I know the gun needs leading up, just wanted to see what they are like. My cottage garden is only 15mts so not really a true test but nevertheless it was a start until I can get time to go to the range.

 

One thing, it was bloody cold......................

 

The top hole is a 4 pellet group with the cross hairs on the centre and the lower group is a mildot hold under and a 10 shot group. I am quite pleased with that for a start up.

 

 

For some reason I cannot rotate the image........................sorry.

Random iv not done up mto 40 , 50 , 60 yrds yet

 

but outn to 30 is spot on groupings could be a little tighter but the pellet in the center gives you some idear

 

and all in the 5p range

 

going to try and get to the shooting range this week end and try them out to 50, 60, yrds if iv got time

You zipped another post in before I posted my smileys Mac. I would normally use plain paper / card but the targets were the first thing I picked up and it was so cold, I had no intention of staying out long.

5p sized group at 30 is good Mac and I'm sure you'll tighten them up,like to see some pics when you get them out at the range...
