HI EVERYONE IWAS OUT THIS MORNING FOR A SHOT AND MY GUN DOESNT SEEM TO HAVE MUCH POWER i shot 3 rabbits at about 25-30 yards square in the head and they run gimped over to the ditch.anytime before i was droppin them.the gun was fully serviced and resealed about 6 months ago by air arms themselves. Its done my head in as i hate not killin stuff outright,i know the way they went they were dead minutes after they went through the ditch but thats no good to me.Anyone else had same problem or know whats wrong. i really use it on squirrels and pidgeons and it has always performed well as well as rabbits before this morning,CAN ANYONE HELP ME

only way to be sure is have your gun chronographed...............see what power its actually doing!!

 

only other thing to check is where you are actually hitting them....try and recover one of the dead rabbits and have a look..............and re-check your zero at the same distance.

 

all the best

Have you just used the gun since the service ? As you say AA had it six months back, or have you used it regular and this has just started to happen ??
