    Neither of which are light springers😁

    We are suffering more drift than an HFT course in a strong gale

    Might I suggest an Anglo Spanish break barrel or certain German offerings?

    It’s a yes from me.
    First attempt was within the 5p size but I know my rifle will shoot into a tighter group.


    I waited for the wind to settle and managed this which is an improvement on the original.


    Admittedly no lightweight but it’s sporter’esque...
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    And a most excellent performance as way of a return to some good, clean boingery therapy, Craig.

    Well overdue a session myself.

    Not that that would make any difference, Craig.

    How about an HW99? That wasn't too difficult was it.

    I posted about this a number of years ago on one or more forums and at a time when I was doing a lot of air rifle and pistol shooting. I was trying out different pellets in a well sorted full size sub-12 ftlbs HW100 in .177. Range was 50m, rifle on front and rear bags, weather was mild temperature and no wind.

    JSB Exacts came out on top with a centre to centre group size of 8mm x 13mm for 10 shots, one hole. I was pretty impressed at the time and doubt that I could have done the same with my TX200, although based on 30 yard grouping it might have come close.

    Good shooting by those above who've shown their results with springers, respect guys
