Silencer For Webley Longbow

[Guest The Shaman]

Gents I need a bit of advice.

 

I've recently got a Webley Longbow, an excellent springer and very accurate. I have already been on my permission and got a couple of rabbits with it.

 

What I'd like your advice on is a silencer - is it worth putting one on a springer. I've searched the web and some sites say it does make a difference (to the quarry) others say it doesn't matter as the spring action makes the most noise anyway or words to that effect.

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

A silencer definately makes a difference, I would recommend a BSA one or have a look at UK_Neil's ones as they are second to none. Try getting a friend to fire some shots past you with and without a silencer obviously you need to be behind a safe barrier like bales of straw. You will hear the difference. I fitted a Theaben gas ram into my old Webley Omega and had it Lazaglide tuned by Venom and it was pretty silent. I shot loads of bunnies with it, many were shot one after the other and the second bunny didn't hear the first shot.
