    I believe I saw the same video a while back. Was it the one were the girl was shooting tin cans at 200M? Her elevation was like 10 yards or something I believe she said or maybe 12 yards It was rediculous. Also she was elevated were she was aiming from so the targets stayed in her mils. The end were it showed a hole in the tin can was pretty unrealistic at that range though, at only 12Ftlb

    yes we know of cubleycat.....what you gentlemen are forgetting to say is that this lady was grassed up by a club member to the police who thought her guns were illegal.
    the police took her guns for testing and she got ALL of her guns back with printed documents proving their legality.

    she also told how high the aimpoint was for the 200 yard shots and shown how far the cans were through her laser rangefinder and as for her ''elevated'' position...its only a 3ft ish folding table and minimum bipod height.

    imho good on her for being able to drop cans at 200 yards...instead of criticising her,have a go yourself.

    You took the words right out of my mouth

    Cubleycat is a 100% verified long range shooter! The police have told us her guns are legal, she uses a laser rangefinder, and in one video she even pulls a tape along with her to 200m!

    What other proof do you want that she's ace?! A pellet going that fast will of course go 200m. Why is it so strange that it hits what it's supposed to when coming out of a top end rifle with a good scope and handled by an expert shooter?

    All you can do is try it for yourself

    It may seem unrealistic to make a hole in the can at 200m with 12ftlbs, to be honest I dont know if I would believe it either only I do because it did, very surprised myself!
    I am not wanting to start a debate, it would be best for you to try it for your self
    Oh it was a Daystate Rangemaster 4.53 pellet, the only one that would do it!

    200 metre shot

    The rangemaster pellets must be worth having if they can hole a tin can at that distance.

    In the US, 200yd .22 rimfire competitions are quite common and surprisingly accurate! In Michigan (when I lived there) we had one comp a year, but elevation was always the problem. From 25yds to 50m was 10 clicks up on an Anschutz iron sight. 50m to 100yds was 40 clicks. Most shooters were using scopes for the 200yds shoot.

    I haven't seen the video. Maybe its realistic with soft drink cans, made of aluminium compared to hard "tins" (tinned steel cans) ...?

    I seem to remember buying a BSA Meteor new in about 1978. With it came a safety leaflet warning that pellets could travel up to 350 yards. Don’t suppose there is a cat in hells chance of hitting a bus at that range, but a HW100 at 200 seems quite feasible.

    Why do people always doubt what they can’t achieve themselves? Try it before you knock it.

    Great shooting keep it up.

    The furthest i have shot is 93 meters, at paper target on wood, but it didn't break the paper!

    What was the size of the grouping? Mine was about 5-7inch spread from what i could tell at the slight marks on the paper sounds like i could learn a thing or two from you!

    Nice shooting!

    Thumbs up

    just thought i would have my say on this seeing as everyone else seems to be haveing a post fest

    Cubleycat good on you nice shooting keep it up and yes to the others who seem to be greatly confused by the fact that someone who decided to share with everyone her skills and that a LEGAL air rifle can indeed strike cans and still knock them over and hole one at the 200m distance she has stated and proved why doubt it

    Answer is you doubt her because you cant do it and are scared to try it, given the right conditions and skill of the shooter, scope setup and good selected pellets then you could do the same so go try it.

    I decided to try it and took me a few shots (45 to be exact) with 5mph wind from the left to right and all i can say is yes it works used the same pellets jsb exacts .177 weight 8.4g but used both my Air Arms EV2 mk1 776 on the chrono and my s410 .177 was 780 muzzle energy on the chrono so both LEGAL set shot on my permission land with the owner present, used a archery bow rest front and rear sat on a shooting stool and played never tried this range untill seeing the vid useually dont shoot beyond max 70yrds at paper targets so was interesting to try it and i had such a grin when the tin i placed went over that i placed with a lasered 200m distance from me then paced and measured by tape to be sure

    So to all the doubters before you say "cant be done, fake, lier, that can not be true " go and play try it if you hit then you know if not practice till you do because it is possible

    and yes i have saw 64 videos of cubleycats videos with interest and tried a few and can only say "Cubleycat great shooting good skills great vids and keep it up one day you might try competitions you would love it or you could start a doubting people school and charge them to learn how to do it because they seem to love watching free vids of how to do it and saying fake etx so say charge them for the visit one tin of pellets for the privilage of a live demonstration then see and take a photo of there faces once proved wrong, collect the tin of pellets and make a photo gallery with names of the doubters now that would be worth a tin of pellets anytime "
    cheers Andy

    Not enough space to write the collection but 5 gun cabinets and a big shed does the trick
    "SHOOT IT, SKIN IT, COOK IT, EAT IT " and my favourite only a blind man says "i cant see the target in my scope" and is telling the truth
