buzzys410 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi i done some long rang shooting today, i filled up a old beer can with water and at yrds it went straight through the can easy. I had to aim 3 mill dots high but the air arms s410 put 4 holes in nearly the same place. I was quite impressed with it tomorrow im gunna try some even longer shooting. So im sure if you were a good enough shoot you would kill a rabbit at this sort of distance. mitch Quote Link to post
blackstaff 488 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Finally managed to get out Sat night with the .177 here you go guy's and girls I have posted another thread on the subject of ' How far you have dropped a bunny ' but i shot 2 sat night and we paced them out, 71 and 74 yards !! They were both shot's that i had posts to lean on, and the pellets were accupells. Before i get all the people saying that's cruel / impossible or whatever your gonna say both bunny's were in an open field so if winged my dog would of picked them up before they managed to get to saftey and die painfully. We both didn't think that the first one was as far as it was hence the second time. Don't get me wrong, i would rather not hit a bunny than wing it and let it die slowly, its cruel that's not for me.

blackstaff 488 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 J - i've got a hand held lamp ( 1,500,000 ) with motorbike battery, bought some red plastic sheeting from local shop to make a lens. If i take the lens off it covers the field easy, too bright really but considering it only cost me about £15 all in i cant grumble ! Also when the dog gives chase i can see her no probs. As for the difference i think it's something to do with the pellet being lighter in the .1777 so goes further holding more of it's power ? Prob wrong, if i am i'm sure the keyboard warriors will be along shortly to put me right ! Quote Link to post

Hi j try it again but this time put a big piece of white card behind the can and you will see where your pellet is going, at longer distances the smallest bit of wind can affect the pellet. also have you cronoed your gun recently. thanks mitch .
