Hi from Matamau

I have a few gamo units and have posted reviews.

Mid power unit like your Whisper are within the CAT2 trigger capabilities so good choice.

Experimenting with pellets can be costly and leave you with many unused tins, so well worth some investigation, with plenty of good advice available on this forum.

Pellet trajectory needs to be learned for different distances so set out some markers and practice until your chosen distance corrections become automatic.

Use the hunting section for reference and share success or failures and keep us up to date.

cheers

I live on a 4 acre life sentence block at the very end of a shingle road, surrounded by farmland, so have plenty of room to practice and zero my rifle.  However I would be keen on a visit to learn more about using my air rifle better.  I did a lot of duck scaring with a 12g from my late teens through to early 20s but have done very little rifle shooting with either air guns or powder burners.   I have been watching a bunch of air gun stuff on YouTube so understand the challenges of shooting a springer accurately.

We had seen and heard a few possums so my son-in-law (I live in a tiny home on the same property as my daughter, son-in-law & grandson) got himself an air rifle and has managed to get two so far.   As I have more spare time and the garden was showing signs the possum issue was not solved a few weeks back I bought a 2nd hand .22 Gamo on TradeMe. 

YouTube has got me interested in shooting targets and I have recently purchased a Gamo P900 IGT break-barrel pistol.  Low power and  only good for plinking in the back yard but is good fun.

Anyway, for now at least time to deal to a few more possums!
