vizlauk 1,568 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Good night out enjoyed myself, walked some distance & seen a lot of rabbits and hares, the next trip out will be a better session, I must admit I prefer a .22 to the .177 could be tempted to trade my hw100 full length action for the same in .22 , rabbits tonight are for my good mate Jeff aka Jjm for his birds of prey. 2 Quote Link to post

random 659 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Confidence is key and if you have doubt in your mind over some piece of your kit or even yourself it can put you in this position,its on your mind and goes round and round and I suppose becomes a sub conscious off put,get out and practise Mac and get that belief back,you know the feeling that everything is spot on at different ranges,magnification etc,I'm sure you do this often enough anyway but there's no harm in doing it once more,if you find you don't get on with .177 after then a trade in is understandable,may as well have a gun you can confidently grab and go... 1 Quote Link to post

David.evans 5,323 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Mac Just picking up on the other thread about 22 Don't forget mate the 177 has a flatter flight path , than 22 This will help with the nv if shot on the lowest mag , if the range is slightly out Atb mate Quote Link to post
