    if you couple this up with the wind chart i posted about last time you have a90% chance of a hit if you do everything correctly. i say 90% because the wind usually changes and is not always consistant. every 1mile/hour wind effects airgun pellets at long ranges and it depends how well you read conditions.

    at the moment im very busy but in June i will have enough time on my hand and i will make videos of these procedures and upload them as usual. with practice you will be surprised how dead close you can get that little piece of lead even past 100 yards, if conditions are steady you can do some wonders and if you place a bet you can get a drink or two off your friends)

    the biggest problem for us in the uk is sometimes the lack of space, i live in a residential area and usually have at best my backyard 20 yards to shoot in or the friends place which is about 40 -45 yards so the long range thing for me is only a wish and not always a reality. even getting the first shot to land in the right place in the back yard is hard sometimes always consider the first few shots as a warm up anyway
    If i didnt have a Falcon i would have a Rapid

    ironically here the space i have is limited to only one range, this is actually the only range available on this little rock as regard airgun shooting and stretches about 190m from the farthest point and when i need to do this kind of long range drop chart i have to cordially ask the shooters to move back so that i can get a zero. there where lately some changes in the airgun hunting scene as apparently hunting rabbits with airguns is permissible on ones land.
    the biggest range is the 900m one is currently only available to the military and we cannot do any backyard trigger time, first off because land is so limited that you cannot have a backyard ala UK. someshooters travel to italy to get their rifles zeroed and the ranges they wish for so as you see in commercial terms this injects money in a foreign economy and leaves little gain to local shooting scenes. i wish i had access to such UK style ranges even if i have to travel a long time because as things are now, you have to fly to italy or Czech republic which seem to offer good capabilities at reasonable price.
