chouchin66 12 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 A good Monday to you all. I just joined your forum not much more than 30 minutes ago & thought I should contribute a few pictures from California. We've a few more accepted game species / pests over here that are airgun rated. So without further adieu, some of them taken by myself over the past year, all with break barrel springers - Rabbit, ground squirrel, Rattlesnake( a venomous hazard). Also some quail & collared doves , but misplaced pictures. 6 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,928 Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Welcome aboard, it will be interesting to see how your hunting is compared to here albeit that most of the UK air rifles are restricted to sub 12fpe (ft/lb). A few of us on this forum use what is termed in the UK as FAC airgun which means the gun can be any power level but we need to have a 'firearms certificate' to own and use one. What power level is your springer. The rattle snake looks an interesting target although I would keep my distance of those critters. Phil 1 Quote Link to post

While we have no power ceilings here, I ( withhold 1 rifle - my HW95) hunt mostly with sub 12 ft - lbs as well. Three HW 99s ( .177, .20 & .22), HW30s & .177 HW35 E all at U.K. " full power". The snakes are kept at rifle distance - mostly. 1 Quote Link to post

80 Due North 2 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 That's the first time I've seen a rattlesnake taken out by a springer! You're a better man than I, I'm not sure I would have even tried. 1 Quote Link to post
