Vey long time ago when shooting full bore pistol at a club, I heard rumours that one fella was taking his mum's blood pressure tablets to calm him down for the local comps.

That always comes to mind now as I work the action of the HW80K for the next shot at the range. As in anything practice improves performance. But practice with a springer needs physical effort. Effort raises heart rate. High heart rate mitigates against relaxation and therefore the necessary calm and light control of the rifle.

PCPs don't have that disadvantage; you could just concentrate on shot after shot.

All the same I don't want one.
