Another Hi from Christchurch. 

I have made the move from firearms to airguns due to licencing issues... (Processes not losing my licence) and am looking for like minded people to get together from time to time to shoot and chat? are there any clubs who regularly meet up?

Recoil feels better i havent got a scope to chuck on it yet just orderd a Hawk Scope have heard they are pretty sweet im pretty sure its hitting harder ill keep you guys posted i also added a 3mm spacer in there for abit more compression almost think i could add more but will test first.

Hey Stephen id be also interested in meeting up with some of you guys not sure about clubs but there must be some.

There was only one club down those ways but im not sure if they are still going or not as i havent heard anything for over a year from them. but having said that why not setup your own club down there?

Hi,
and welcome. If your 13yr old lad is a 'good size' he should be OK, but I have the .25 cal Hatsan (same gas ram as a .30) and they are heavy to cock (40+lbs), and after a 'few' rounds you'll feel it. I did look at the .30, but decided on the .25 for two reasons.
 1) there are several youtube reviews of both, and the .25/.30 are pretty close for FPE and hitting power.
2) the .25 cal has a much greater selection of pellets available. I've used mine with 24gr slugs, and the heavy 42gr. (this produces similar muzzle velocity to the .30cal) I can attest at 40mtrs on a bunny, the .25 hits hard.
This review I found interesting, .30 vs .25

Hey Nunga that is not a bad idea there is a shooting range out mcleans island not sure who owns/runs it.

Hey Graywulf yeah he can cock the .30 but only a few times its more the weight of the gun that gets him but i have the Gamo cfx and Magnum which is better suited to him i just recently pulled the .30 apart cleaned all the sh*t out it was really dirty inside almost looked like rust bore is all good tho put new seals in and charged the gas ram up to 170 bar it really feels like its shooting alot harder now the factory seal was terrible the piston just fell out compared to the new one which was not easy to get in there haha but feels good now still waiting on my chrono to turn up and see what it is shooting at .

How do you recharge the hatsan? I have a hatsan .25 also. It is during perfectly at the moment so won't be doing any further work on it yet but would be good to know for the future?
