mark williams 7,549 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Well I got out for a few hours today lads with the newly zeroed Pro Sport. I put a hide up by a tree that I know gets pigeons dropping in and waited. Just 5 minutes in and a Magpie was sat in the highest branches, the strong wind had him bouncing and riding, leaving him with a reversed Mohican feather cut to the top of his head and me with a " just missed". So we waited and waited and waited when I noticed the tiniest flicker, - tells me my concealment is good A hawk just 28 yds off. Well the wait continued until at last a Wild and wily wood pigeon landed. I had the Pro Sport on point instantly, safety off, then the "building of the shot". Here`s her zero again. Here`s her first hunt. Nice clean heart/ lung shot at 34 yds lased - instant despatch. Lovely hunting rifle, The Pro Sport .177 atb Mark. 7 Quote Link to post

I think that's just going to be the tip of the iceberg for the pro sport? I do too Matt . Once you`ve learned their shot cycle they are pcp accurate. The first hunting shot of this rifle was a Magpie, Matt. It was a good 38 yds away and at around 70 ft up, I`d already test shot the tree branches, as I always do and the cross hair was pinpoint. Anyway just as I took the built up shot a gusty breeze drew the branches down the instant I squeezed off and in the follow through I saw that Magpie get such a parting dead centre of it`s bonce ,i`ve decided to call my Pro Sport - " Maggie", - first time I have ever owned a rifle with a name. Thoroughly enjoyed today mate. atb Mark. 1 Quote Link to post

Yes the Pro Sport is fast to the shoulder mate and quick on point. Got my HW 100 KT back this morning so she might get a run out next. atb Mark. 1 Quote Link to post
