It seems there's a bit of "one upmanship" going around on the fb airgun groups.
The past week I have noticed a few posts with claims of quarry shot at range. The distances claimed have started around the 45 yd mark then steadily increased to 56 yd 62 yd etc. to a spectacular 77 yd unsupported shot.
I have shot with lads who I know are capable of achieving such distance at targets with a sub 12.
I also shoot with lads who would not entertain shooting quarry past 40 yds. And that's not because they can't.
Is 70 plus yds an acceptable range to be shooting quarry?
