Hi All.
Well, it's been around 18yrs since I used to target grey squirrels back home with my old .22 BSA break barrel. I'd been wanting a new gun for a while. I did some research and bought a TX200 mk3 .177. I liked this so much that I bought an Air Wolf mct .22 - I didn't really have the money but I fell in love with it as soon as I picked it up.
I'm getting virtually pellet on pellet inside 10p sized targets at 25yrds in the back garden quite easily.
At the moment I feel a bit like 'All the gear, very little idea'.
Any advice from you guys on pellets and local shooting clubs would be very appreciated.
I'd like to target shoot and hunt. I love cooking so, some nice fresh bunnies would be good eventually.
Thanks for reading & have a good day all.
All of the above.
Hi , lots of great advice/info on here, hope you enjoy .
Great way to get away from the missus too
Just got back into it myself after about 25yrs break . Lovin' it !
oh and cheaper than airgun mags .atb, Rich.
gat gun .25 cal
Thanks for the replies. Not to worry Les, I dare say that I'm a bit rusty after all this time. I want to be very sure of my abilities before I hunt for dinner.
Cheers Rich, I reckon time away from the missus will be very welcome if she ever finds out what I spent on my new hobby
All of the above.
These guys will do a day ticket and they are 5 miles from the centre of Swindon, they have a 65yd outdoor range for air rifle shooters to learn the ropes before going after the bunnies.

There is also a shooting ground near Cirencester that does air rifles every other week:
