Pcp V Springer

[Dave_1]

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?

[Dave_1]

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

Springer has to be
When you hit a target at 55yards with a springer you know that you have done something right

[Herx77]

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.

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

[JohnBam]

Springers shooters are alive, PCP shooters are zombies with no soul.....

Never a truer word

[Dave_1]

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

[Recoiling Rob]

Mk 3 is gone

I love my old ripper

But the its the TX that makes me grin

Never a truer word

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 ..
