mattybugeye 884 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Really?? Probably not a great deal left Quote Link to post
Durham John 693 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) retained energy in chairgun, now try hitting a rabbits head at 100 yds lol should have said, energy is just to the right of the blue bar ie 5.24 ft/lb Edited May 31, 2015 by Durham John 1 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,957 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I doubt there will be enough aim points for hold over either unless your on 3-4 x mag. Then you wouldn't see it anyway. 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,979 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 5.4 FT/LB at 100 yards with AA fields running at 11.5 FT/LB , best thing is to down load chairgun , but I don't know why you need to find out at a 100 yards 1 Quote Link to post
Durham John 693 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 8.8 dots over at 8x mag so just about get hold over into cross hairs at 4x (4.4) dots ovrr 1 Quote Link to post
Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 12 ft lb air rifle, 100 yards? Lol....... Quote Link to post
David Aiken 253 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I wouldn't worry about energy left of pellet drop, the smallest gust of wind will put you several feet off target! 3 Quote Link to post
David Aiken 253 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Bloody hell! The OP asked a simple question about the power left at 100 yards, he stated he didn't want to shoot at that range, just wanted to know! Why are some of you lot treating him like a leper? It's not like he's one of the numpties who come on here and say they've shot a woodpigeon off their birdtable because they know sweet FA about the GL is it? FFS!!! Because the information is on Google! Anyone who has an Air gun down loads Hawke ChairGun or similar. And I usual find the "can I shoot/kill a Fox/Rabbit with a Peashooter/Air Pistol or at 1000 yards" to have tried or will attempt to try to do so! Just my opinion and what I make of "these" type of questions, many of which I have come across during my 40 years as a shooter! Quote Link to post
David Aiken 253 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 "As for googling for the answer, well not everyone is any good with a computer, I have to rely on my missis or do things the old fashioned way". Anyone using this site is on a smart phone/laptop/PC/tablet or internet enabled device and will have enough knowledge or help to use Google/www./find a web page or, how did they find this site in the first place/complete the application process/become a member/post a reply to a topic? A question as to "what is the limit of my rim fire/air rifle/ammunition/skill" to me spells a wish to "use" that said equipment to, or outside of its limits. My own rifle setup/ammunition has the "retained" ft-lbs to kill a Rabbit at 1500 yards, if I posted as to the energy of my equipment at 1500 plus yards, I would expect many more "why" answers that the actual answer.

walshie 2,804 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Ironic though that we would decry someone for wondering if a pellet would kill a rabbit at well over the normal range but we'll praise a sniper for killing a man at further than the recognised range of his sniper rifle. Room for thought there? Is it because the sniper was trying to defend his comrades from people trying to kill them and the worst a rabbit could do is eat a bit more grass? Quote Link to post
