    Hi Mike! If I'd had my two bags of weedkiller to rest on at Popham, I'm sure I would have got a few more

    Are you going to be trying out this long range lark? I'll bet you and your 77 could get some pretty impressive results

    Davey,
    Have had some interesting 25mmish groups at 55yds lately,but gun doing my head in at comps.The Redfearns/Emley shoot was crap for me but the gun was doing nice tight groups at 45 and 55 yds;even spent some time with Tony Belas and the new Daystate on the Emley zero range.Both knocking the bird down at 55yds and resetting it,not bad for a HW77 against a pcp,but you have to work harder.
    Coming over for the 'Gathering'.

    I had another go with the Longbow today at shooting over 68yds distance last time i used a pellet tin as a target and hit it 4 out of 8 with crossman VP's (walking to and from to stick up the tin)

    This time i used plasterboard as a target and Webley Mosquito Express pellets shooting on 4x mag and aiming 4 dots high.

    That group went 41mm ctc across .

    I shot a second group and they were not as nice but still only 44mm ctc.
    I cant belive how accurate this gun is for a springer.

    Shots taken from the front seat of my van , gun rested in my palm with forearm against my leg (propped up on dash)

    Springers eh! Just like mysterious and beautiful spanish women (the nice ones not the ones with beards), the moment you think you've got em worked out they bite you on the ass! It's why we love it! Good to hear you're still fighting the good fight Mike, Southern Hunters will be the next trip out for me, not sure what rounds yet but I'll hope to see you soon at one of those. All the best!

    Had to get rid of mine, no pellets struck in the same place twice...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
