200m with a 12ft/lbs .177 HW100?

[1MOA ALL DAY]

Yeah i have seen her a few times while looking through you tube .And i have to say she is a good shooter .Ive seen her 200 metre vid and its totaly possible especially with pcp..But i can not beleive someone would call the police..what a lunatic..can airgunners not apply their hobby without being victimised .what is happening in this country?????

[Mickw]

Try as I might I cant get the wife to have a go so kudos to this woman for doing such a terrific job of pushing the boundaries of 12lbs air rifles

[matt007]

I have seen this and all i can think is why anyone would not think this is possible? that has an understanding of shooting airguns?

[steviep]

Just watched this video,and got to say thats some awesome shoting.

[custommy]

Really want to see this video, the bloke that grassed her up is obviously jelious, maybe as she is female, or the fact she is a better shot?? Fair play to her I say.

200m thats some goin i wouldnt even try to shot a 2.2 bullet gun at that distance

Emma,

Nice, would not have thought of air rifles at those distances, impressed! Going to have to give it a try.

Pipparooba -

200yards with a 22rf is not a problem at all (winds a bugger though)

Steyr

7saum + 30moa base & mount + March 5-40FFP = mile (and still 400+ fpe)

Have just seen these amazing videos. Emma deserves praise rather than spiteful criticism. Wish I had land that long because I'd be trying it myself!

With my Weihrauch HW100KS (.22) I can hit a target at 70 yards with correct elevation. But I guess it must be possible eh? She did it!

hi there, new member here, was reading this post and am amazed at what can be achieved with a sub 12 ft lbs air rifle, cubbleycat sure sounds like a talented individual, I have a sub 12ft lbs 177 rapid 7 and would love to be able to replicate these results, next still day im going out to my permission with my range finder to see what I can do, will start at 80 yards and work my way out if im capable that is, this site is great!!

Be interesting to hear how you get on.

Yes I think it is unlikely and a 12ftlbs airgun would have not much power left at that range. Even FAC airgun would be pretty much useless, this is usually approx 35/38ftlbs at the muzzle.

.22RF (100ftlbs at muzzle) even 200yds is not recommended for this calibre, the sensible shooting distance would be more like 75 -100yds. The most likely small calibre at this range would be .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire).

Any shot with any calibre on target at 200 yds is some shot! and if hunting you simply in an ideal world shoot at a more sensible range to kill cleanly.

I think you're missing the whole point here:

1. It's been proven to be a perfectly legitimate video.
2. All of Emma's guns are below the legal limit (Police certified).
3 She's plinking at tin cans for God's sake; she's not telling you to go hunting at those distances.

It was an experiment and a bit of fun.......take it for what it is!

Well said Casey

good shooting cubleycat

i was with wingnut ^^above^^ when we shot at 93m. the paper target was on 6mm thick plyboard. the pellet dented the board, but didn't penetrate. thanks for taking the time to work out the residual energy of the pellet - it's obvious it loses a lot of energy over the distance, but i had no idea it lost 2/3rds of it i'm sure if the target was paper on cardboard, it would have punched through it without a problem.

it also seemed to drop a long way compared to 60m, but we didn't get enough shots in to determine this definitively. we shoot mainly at normal ranges - up to 60 yds. now i understand you shimmed the rear of your scope with 5mm of cardboard, so that it was shooting 30cm high at 10m. i'd like to try this someday, but for now will stick with the shimming i have at present and go and try 93m again today - it's completely still out there. i'd like to check on the drop, and also grouping at this range

thanks again and all the best
