Very useful, Having recently started shooting I can say this article is extremely helpful. Thanks for posting

Thanks for the advise about the wood piano man, I'll certainly look into making a back-stop like the one you mentioned I only want to pull the trigger if I know it's safe. And great ideas about the targets guys! The plant pot idea gurtwurtz had is very good and coincidentally I found some plant pots that would be ideal when I cleared the shed out. The spoons seem like a cheap and practical solution too

Hi everyone, how are you doing? I have quite a small garden and I have reached a predicament that I have not personally seen much light on in magazines etc. Quite often I hear/read about groupings, pellet velocity, foot pounds, but I can't seem to find much publicised about what you're actually shooting at. What is your opinion on different targets and what they should be used for? I think it would be an interesting conversation. Spinners, knock down targets, plain targets or more "fairground" type things like getting the ball down the rail? There could also be things to say about wall

Would these tunes remain under the 12 foot pound limit?

This is great and very useful. I've been scratching my head on this topic to the point that I haven't got much of a skull left. If I may ask though, do you think that the 97K needs to be tuned to reach the same level of performance as the TX200? I have read many a quote saying that it should be to reach these levels. I know that there is almost nothing in it, but accuracy is my top top priority I want to be sure that It can match the accuracy of the TX200 out of the box or if I need to pay extra to get it to this point

Sorry guys, much like a previous comment from someone else I thought we were talking about the 97k haha!

I too have to make this decision, and what a tough one... I am concerned with what people say about how the 95K is very close but needs to be tuned to really reach it's potential and match the tx200 out of the box. I'd like to vote TX200, but i'm certainly not any expert.

Another constructive response, thanks for posting. I have settled on the TX200 now and the comments from you and others have been a big help. I am going somewhere to have a look at the TX200 and 97K very soon as they are pretty much one and the same. It''s nice to recieve helpful advice as on other forums I have read one or two word replies.

Thanks very much for mentioning that, it helps a lot more than you think. I've spent nearly as much time looking for a shop as I have for the rifles! This shop seems great as it stocks a wider range of both Air Arms and Weirauch. That's very nice of you to offer to meet up, if we choose to buy something that would be appreciated. I'll contact you if this is the case, thanks again.

Thanks a lot for your reply, It had definitely shed some new light on the subject. I think I am leaning slightly more towards the TX200 than the 95K. I do want to try them both as you said to see which I prefer, but there are only two air rifle stockists within an hours drive that I know of here in Henfield (niether of which have a range or stock the TX200). I am considering making the journey to Ronnie Sunshines to get a clear feel for each of the guns. Thanks again, it's nice to read a comparison of both pros and cons of each gun. Appreciated Is that henfield in sussex? Yes that's r

Thanks for pointing that out, but as a first time buyer I think I would much prefer a brand new rifle

Hi everyone I'm both new to the forum and new to the sport, and I am looking to buy my first air rifle. I am looking to use it for hunter field target with a small possibility of hunting later on if I decide to. I am definitely sure that I want a springer because of it's consistancy in power, the cheaper price and the fact that you don't need to use any extra equipment. I have also settled on a 177 calibre for it's smaller ark and higher accuracy at longer range (correct me if I am wrong in this information). The rifle I will buy will be equal to or less than 12 foot pounds as I live in En
