What am I doing wrong?

   Hello,
Am plagued by feral roosters which sleep too high in the trees for me to grab at night and are way too fast on the ground. Bought a Hatsan 70 .177 secondhand, which are supposed to have a fps of 1000. I have H & N field target trophy pellets. Pinged away at apples on the fence till I had my eye in, then went after them. Damned things just fly off laughing, even when I'm sure I hit them. One incautiously went to sleep in a low apple tree last night, shot it in the head from a range of about 3 inches, went out this morning with a spade, it is still well and happy.

Could the spring be worn?  Is there something else that might need adjustment/repair?

Have spoken to someone who has the same gun, reckons he uses his on possums.

Cheers,

Ahudot
