    Air rifle at 150 yards

    A little too much wind for long range pellet shooting today but if the target is big enough...

    Is that a .177 rifle? What are the specs?

    Nice. A friend let me take a shot at a Prairie dog @85-90 yards and I put him down. I was very happy with his .25 PCP Hatsan.
    As I am learning these things are no toys. I picked up a Hatsan .22 springer and the learning curve has been steep for me!

    I never saw the can in the video but it doesn't matter. 150 yard shot is a great shot with an air rifle. I shoot Pepsi cans at 100 and I thought that was a killer shot. Now I have a new standard.

    I have a 34 in .22 that will shoot around 3.5" at 100 yards, biggest thing to learn with a springer is how it like to be held (assuming you already have solid optics on it).

    Trade it for a PCP. Springers can be very hard to shoot well due to their hold sensitivity / harmonics. I got rid of all my springers because of that. One thing's for sure, I have a LOT of respect for good spring gun shooters.

    I have found my nitro venom is not hold sensitive.
    A gun is like a parachute: If you need one and don't have one, you won't be needing one again.

    There is a video out there where "the Twig" hit a small target at 200 yds. with an Air Arms Prosport spring gun, British 12 fpe version i believe.

    Another cool air gunner is Ted's holdover.

    This got me hooked on watching you tube years ago. Lots of good pellet gun stuff.
    I love the slo-mo stuff.
