    Indeed!! Anyone can argue that this whole website is ammunition for anti's all over the world and shut everything down. If fish is there to do a job and its legal then fair play to him. I'm certainly not going to stop doing something just because someone else doesn't like it, however I do take into consideration the reactions people might give by doing something. As the old saying goes, for every action there is always a consequence. Fish's action, i believe has nothing to do with any anti's, so consequently, their opinions cut no ice with me. H

    There certainly is mate. Looks like you've done a great job mate! well done! 40ft seems like an impressive range! Big Kudos! I had some pigeons for my tea yesterday with my rabbit i shot. Very tasty! What springer have you got? I noticed you said you miss your super ten. I've recently bought one, and love it! What happened to yours? oh and for those like Bobba..I've seen pigeons shot in the head before that fly for about 30-40ft before the nerves stop working and they drop dead....everyones a critic nowadays! Nice shootin fish...keep it up!

    Cheers mate, Using air arms pellets (.22), thats what they gave me and what my friends recommended too. Went out with it last week and got 5 rabbits. 2 big, 3 babies. 2 big ones for the pot! yum! I'm really happy with it, it feels like its just a great all round, do what it says on the tin field rifle! perfect for me! Let me know when you get your bull barrel!

    I certainly concur with advice about local dealers. A good dealer will give sound advice and may have 2nd hand trade ins for those new to this sport. I would however take serious issue with any recommendation at shooting "things" (presumably rabbits, squirrels, pigeon, etc) at this range with an air rifle. Good hunters go for headshots only. Consistent accuracy at rabbits heads at 50 yds is speculative and runs the grave risk of wounding. And that is not what we are about. You will find on most forums offer advice for the 30yd - 35 yd max and that is what I practice too. (Even with my AA S

    if you want a upgrade then speak to john bowkett mate i have his number if you want it. he will blueprint it for you and it makes a world of difference. he makes carbon mods to which are super silent and light, he can screwcut the barrels to which helps if you want to cut the noise down, he fac's them if you want that and have the ticket. he is the dogs bollocks on these rifles after all he designed them for bsa. and not only that if you have it done by him if anything go's wrong with it he will sort free of charge even 3 years down the line ! that is service mate have a look at the fa

    Hi Guys, My Dad has a BTAS FX Cyclone. He says that it seems to be leaking a little from the bottle. Its not a buddy bottle but built in. Has anyone here had a similar situation. Any ideas on how to remedy? Advice would really be appreciated guys. Cheers H

    Best thing is to go to your local dealer and ask for their advice. You should be looking to hit things about 40-50yrds MAX with an air rifle. Another good idea would be to take a trip to your local shooting range and ask some advice. See if you can have a go with a few if someone will let you! Hope you find the one you like. H

    I got a BSA super Ten... It really is a very good rifle. Still, most pre charges perform more or less the same now a days!! Does anyone have a BTAS? My dads got an FX Cyclone. What do you think? H

    Have bought a BSA Super Ten! Love it, went shooting earlier this week and dispatched a few rabbits!! Anyone else got any opinions or advice they can offer about the super ten? Upgrades etc? Look forward to hearing from you all. Cheers H

    Hello again people! My mate and I are wondering if there is anyone in Hampshire (England) who has an area that we can both shoot pidgeons (primarily) and/or rabbits on. We're both insured and experienced on shooting. Hope to hear from someone soon! Many Thanks Harley

    Hi everyone! I've been speaking to a friend of mine and he's got a cottage in france in the middle of the country where there is ample opportunity for shooting rabbits and stuff and we've been talking about me renting it for a weekend or week and going there with the girlfriend. Whats the law on taking your airgun accross to Europe. Obviuosly it's gotta be in its case all the time (except when you're using it). What is the general attitude of customs? I have a suspision that they may try and take it off me to test the power. Its the legal limit, just a pain in the arse really as I

    Excellent! There must be a local meet somewhere. Where do you do your airgunning and trapping? I'm still thinking of somewhere I can have a crack at snaring! Harley
