Hail the RWS Hobby!

[Geezer]

In my limited experience of over 35 years shooting and what must be (I don’t like to think) over 100 air guns, I have never had a gun that shot badly with Hobbys. Everything has shot them at least acceptably, many really well.

I don’t approve of the ribbed design (induces drag, surely?) but they are good pellets at a good price. It frustrates me to see shooters buy slightly cheaper (Gamo, BSA, etc) makes, saving pennies but getting much worse performance.

And, yes, despite what many people think, a good flat head that leaves the barrel carrying 11 ft-lbs is still effective at 25-30 metres on quarry. Personally, I preferred a good dome when I’be done bit of light pest control, but the idea many have that wadcutters are useless on quarry beyond spitting distance is flat wrong.

Next similar thread: Gecos? They are pretty good too.

Those are the shooters that generally don't work on becoming better shots, typically looking at how close a shot has fallen to the aim point rather than at the dispersion of the group. So it doesn't matter what they shove up the barrel.

Now all we need is a.25 hobby pellet.
