    200yards

    well well in my quest to see what else people are doing with airguns i ran across this one.

    quite some good shooting. time of flight is long so its credible.

    Against cans etc, maybe.
    Never against live quarry.

    Talking

    if you're going to try it, make sure you have a large target such as a 1.5x1m cardboard so that you know by how much you are missing.otherwise you will get nervous and give up) get your elevation first. i've seen a couple trying and stop because they shoot at something big which they expect to hit and when they dont they just give up. however those pellets are usually landing in some sort of pattern down range. it will be very interesting to seeing it done with a springer.

    Long shooting is fun I have shot out to 150 yards on a dry dusty field (with a hill backstop) and its awesome to see the pellet loop over like a morter!

    Hmmm...

    Surely something not quite right about that? The flight time was faster than my HMR!

    OK so who else noticed the slight recoil? if its a 12ft lb AA410 no recoil so its my gues its an fac version espesialy to break the bottles at this distance, so no big deal as he was prone and rifle rested on a solid bank

    Deffinately FAC as you can hear the high pitched "ping" of the hammer spring. Turn the volume up and have a listen.
    My 40FPE HarrierX in .22 had exactly the same sound.

    Bottle Shooting

    Not a brilliant idea
    Shards of glass left for some animal or person to end up with multable stitches from deep wounds or loss of blood from slashed arteries
    Dont use bottles and glass use tins
    I was asked by a local farmer to preserve wildlife!!!
    Any one want a pickled squirrel ???
