duck 0 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 went out this morining with a mate and what a morning the first shot at a rabbit head shot and believe it or not it was from 70 yards if my mate wasn't there i don't think anyone would believe me, i bought my gun a few weeks ago it's a falcon fn19 raptor - using powapells pellets it's the best gun i've had so far and i've had a few will not be changing this one, anyway thought i'd share my shot with you if you have any good shots why not share them, soz lads couldn't send you the pic it's to big Quote Link to post

I'm assuming it is 12ft lb...First off congratulations, you did very well as the powerpells are not very accurate, the accupells are better accuracy wise, but my Falcon doesn't like either. They also rattle around in the magazine. Second, like it or not you were lucky, a 12 ft lb FN19 is not a 70 yard tool, you will end up injuring far more than you kill, stick to around 30, and 40 yds max! Quote Link to post
andy s410c 59 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Great & lucky shot why shoot quarry at this range its extreme put some effort into understanding your shooting grounds & quarry habits,practice good fieldcraft & start shooting at humane,realistic sub FAC power ranges.....I am assuming your airgun is 12ft/lb of course??

Deker 3,453 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 whats the falcon like im looking at one soon ???good shot [bANNED TEXT] The FN19 is a cracking tool, the build quality is not the greatest but they are easy and fun to shoot. On top of that, and despite the fact the barrel is about as flexible as a Bass guitar string, they are very accurate!

duck 0 Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 whats the falcon like im looking at one soon ???good shot [bANNED TEXT] falcons to me are one of the best guns i've tried to date but of course others on this forum will disagree everyone has their own opinion, if you can try before you buy try a falcon fn19 raptor multi shot believe me it's one of the best guns you can try i swear by it, only you can decide it also depends on the pellet you try aswell hope this helps mate Quote Link to post

Because you have not said otherwise I assume you are talking about sub 12ft/lb. In which case you should not be taking a shot at anything 70 yards away. But you did, and you got lucky. Out of interest how high did you have to aim to pull of this amazing feat. Quote Link to post
