TX200 First Evening Out

[BenjaminCadd 109]

Took the TX out last night, First dry day in ages spent a while paper punching working out aim points at certain distances than finished off with abit of rook shooting, cant praise the TX200 enough pushing shots out to 40 yrds and the pellets landing exactly where you placed the aim point! This rifle realy give you the confidence in your shots!

Many Thanks.

Nice one mate.

What Pellets are you using?

Is it a .22?

[Mawders 595]

Awesome bag full there dude l, well done, I do miss my tx200!

[BenjaminCadd 109]

Thanks, its a .177 and i am using JSB Exact.

I've found superfields are consistent in my tx. Cheaper too. A bit fatter and slightly lower velocity (.4 ft/lbs?) but I'm happy with em.

[BenjaminCadd 109]

Yes i will look into to superfeilds, its only had JSB through it and seems to be fine with them but now the weather is getting better i shall get out and see if i can find a better pellet, my other rifles are all on RWS so will give it a shot, and your right far cheaper than JSB.

Nice shooting there. I have shot one crow! That was my Corvid total. I have found the remains of a magpie I shot last year, but could not find, the farmer chopped some brambles down and it was right at the bottom, nice head shot, so I now claim one maggie and a crow in my Corvid collection!

Great write up and shooting Ben....that TX will give you many years of full game bags

[BenjaminCadd 109]

Cheers lads, and yes cant fault the Tx hopefully many more corvids and coneys to come atb Ben.

[milegajo 595]

What's your tactics for corvid sniping? Any secrets to share?

[BenjaminCadd 109]

Alot of paper punching helps me i think, also using the knots in trees as aim points and working the aims points at diff angles and distances and then atleast when i have the corvid in the sights i have the confidence to take the head shots. but i think crows and rooks are easier than pidgeons, pidgeons seem to be more switched on.

What are anybody elses tips?

Plenty of cover and a slit bunny at your prefered zero distance, crows and maggies can't resist it!

You do that Ben? I presumed you baited them with something because I simply cannot get within a fields distance of the crows around here....pigeons i've found easier but only as i'm learning their preferred perches and habits.
