    Shooting the Haenel 33

    Just a little vid of me and a few mates shooting a Haenel 33 Senior & 49a.

    https://youtu.be/n8LFVJNEGCI

    By the end we were hitting tin cans at 35yds standing which is no mean feat.
    What amazing rifles!

    Full vid showing Hugo Schmeisser’s genius design to follow.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    Have you measured the FPS of the 33?

    Great stuff, Matt! I had a Haenel 33 Sportmodell ages ago and shot several tins of balls through it.

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    Thanks Danny,
    That was honestly one of the most fun afternoons airgun shooting I’ve had for a long time, glad we caught some on video…I had to prize that 33 out of my mates hands when we were finished.

    Much more accurate at long range than I thought.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    Just checked, 370fps and 2.3 ftlbs which I believe is about right. Low power but easy to cock and really accurate.
    Perfect!

    Cheers,
    Matt
