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

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.

Now the springers are pushing in front.
But no AA fans?
Does this mean its The germans yet again
AA Pro Sport FTW
But yae cannae knock ze german stuff either
I qualified for my club's 10m pistol team with an Original 6M, beating loads of PCPs. There's nothing wrong with a springer if you put your mind to getting the best out of it. I still see lots of springers at the (H)FT clubs and it seems lots of shooters still really like them.
Springers all the way for me. New AA TX200 HC owner - loving it. Like a long awaited reunion!
Have only used mates PCPs. They're a change to shoot, but I wouldn't buy one. Too many pieces!
With a springer you need the gun and some pellets and you're sorted. Keep it clean and it'll keep on shooting.
Springers are alive, PCP's are zombies with no soul.....
I still love my little s200 though......as a back up, of course
Being a very old hand to hunting but a very new hand to targets it has surprised me that the Springer is so far in front.
I think i will get one for out in the field
Mk 3 is gone
I love my old ripper
But the its the TX that makes me grin
Rob
TX 200's
hehe
I voted springer, you just get more of a buzz when you knock over a target with a springer than you do with a pcp... dont think anyone can deny that, well they can but they'd only be lieing
Springers seem to have more soul and character.. recoiless rifles feel lifeless.. imo that is
i prefer the Weihrauch rifles over the AirArms range ..
