Extreme range accuracy testing

[zini 1,939]

Hi guys,

 

Well finally I am back on the internet at my new house so hopefully I will be on the forum more once again chatting with you guys .

 

Today the weather was nice here in Germany so I thought that I would take out the .22 calibre Pro Sport and make another 10 minute video clip.

 

For this video clip I decided to help out a very good friend of mine and respected regular in this section Shay (VenomViper) if he does ever decide to sell his beloved Pro Sport .

 

For those that have been in this section long enough knows that Shay sent me a rifle free of charge to refurbish months ago which turned out to be a lovely medium range hunting tool that I now cherish .

 

I wanted to repay the huge favour in my own way, so this video should say it all and assist him getting a quick sale if he ever does put his rifle up for sale .

 

It will also show newer members to our sport that a spring rifle is just as good as a PCP if used correctly and the marksmanship principles are used.

 

The regulars on here (my friends) will hopefully see that even though I’m not shooting live quarry at the moment due to being in Germany and not allowed to hunt with a air rifle my spring rifle technique has improved my overall shooting ability making me a much better shot than I was before I came here, (watch out bunnies in July when I get my PCP out to play) .

 

The clip was me shooting my springer at a lased 55 metres (60 yards) getting kills on life size targets plus hitting some very small targets .

 

I then went on to play a bit hitting two 40 metre (43 yard) imaginary squizzer heads with ease .

 

Enjoy the footage guys

 

Here is the link to the footage

a great demonstration of marksmanship principles there, takes alot of skill and knowledge of your rifle to get those kinda results with a springer.....must be the gun....
