mark williams 7,549 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Well i`ve been browsing through old Air Gun World mag`s with all this rainy weather and read an article called "Neal To The Master" on page 9, June 2014. The paragraph is about two lads shooting the HW 100 and the Air Arms S410, both rifles in .177 cal. Apparently these lads shot 153 wood pigeon in 2013 and 143 wood pigeon in 2014 same field, same rifles/ calibre.All evidenced with a photograph .Not one flier all instant despatch. In June of this year i shot 20 wood pigeons and a large Corvid with an Air Arms TX hc .177, all instant despatch. Just some food for thought lads. 2 Quote Link to post
jonnie bravo 572 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Bored mark? I saw a couple of youtube vids called 'airheads' that did some interesting tests on .177 and .22 pellets I'll see if I can find them for you. 1 Quote Link to post

Amateurs Each resulting bag, i should add, was from single decoying sessions. just because they got that many is because the birds happend to be there and lads had done their homework as nothing to do with the cal 2 Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 It would have been a more accurate test if each shooter had a different calibre. They might have got exactly the same result if they both shot 22. Quote Link to post
