There is a springer shoot soon at the club.
Does one
1. take a nice heavy underlever to get the steady aim and subdued recoil, but pay the penalty in manoueverability and also stamina on the difficult standing shots?
2. take a lighter but more jumpy break-barrel to give the edge on standing shots and anything that needs a bit of twisted posture?
Ideally one would have built up one's strength with hundreds of hours of underlever practice but one has not.
Go ahead,,, String that bow

Mmmmmmm.......that'd be a toughie. Although certainly not an expert in this field, a few years ago I was fortunate enough to visit Lincs HFT Club a couple of times. On one occasion I took a 77. Another time one of the 95s. Very tough choice.....
I think it'd be between the 77/97 and a 99 (the 99 tuned down a tad more to get it even sweeter shooting and more able to take advantage of its lighter weight and compact demeanour). I'd even once toyed with the idea of the super-sweetie little 30. But, if keeping the power lower to maintain that unbelievable cycle, it may suffer much more in windy conditions.

A heavier break barrel would surely answer both briefs.
Another vote for the LGV - or a NickG 80.
Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

Personally I'd take my heavy TX200. It has lead added near the butt pad, so even more of a lump than standard, but it balances well and is lovely to use when you only unsling it for a few minutes at a time.

Nothing to consider. For HFT thiere is only 1 unsupported standing shot!!

That would be me done for then.
My main shooting excuse is the statins give me the shakes and as for prone, kneeling or sitting on a cushion both knees are so knackered nowadays that I cannot get down.

I'm having the same thoughts, been invited to have a go at hft, but carrying a few injuries, so think i'll try my Paul Short reduced cylinder 80, that should do the job nicely

A quick aside, what optics would you recommend on, for example the 97 or TX200 ?
may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration
thats basically the choice ... you think the same as me as I was thinking to take the 30 but it runs out of puff after 30 yards..
A heavy break barrel is kind of the worst of both worlds to me. I've a HW35 Export I need to build up so I could prove myself wrong at some point.
I'm going to take my long-stroke old school HW50 with the long barrel. Might put it in a HW99 stock to get the rubber recoil pad.
Thanks gentlemen.
