    Pcp V Springer

    apologies if done before if so i will delete.

    But in the Target way of life i wonder which is prefered in general. Many Many shooters on here so the poll should reflect.

    How do they match up?

    That's close so far.
    But no comments for backing your horse?

    pcp vs springer

    Springer has to be
    When you hit a target at 55yards with a springer you know that you have done something right
    We all fail at many things, many times
    in this life but we don't become failures,
    until we start blaming someone else

    When you a make a shot with a springer especially a difficult one,the buzz is something else,like squaring the circle.Its a complete form of shooting,and getting together with the rifle something that a pneumatic doesn't do.If you want to win and feel empty afterwards go for a pcp,but if you win with a springer you will have a grin a mile wide.The choice is yours..

    Thanks.
    I notice you prefer the Germans over the AA.
    Do you find a much better difference in quality and accuracy or is it more style. i love both brands but you seem to favour one for the springer

    Mike got his HW77 so long-a-go that AirArms probably didn't exist and he's just stuck with the one make ever since.

    While I shoot and enjoy BOTH, I voted pcp as I reckon I'm still more likely to win (or get ever sloer to it) using my S400 than the Prosport.

    Might agree with comments about wider grin if won using a boinger after you've been there and done it with both types, BUT until I have my first win (other than on my home turf), I am very confident that regardless of which gun I'm using that day, the HUGE grin will be forthcoming.
