There may be an open day at piako club soon, head along and bring your gun. If nothing else it'll be a day to shoot it, zero it, and have a bit of fun killing targets and paper
Date and times etc will be posted on this site when confirmed |

Gamo ts-10s are up in the weight, but don't hold your breath for any target grade accuracy from them, QC is not as good as some other brands.
They will give you an indication of what could be achieved , but once you switch to a better pellet your results will benefit as well. I'd go with the heavier end of what's available , light ones are not going to do your spring any favours, or accuracy. Light pellets break the sound barrier, sounds cool, but as they pass through it they become unstable and start spiralling, this is repeated again as they slow down as well, and you'll see this on paper when their point of impact looks more like a shotgun pattern. Heavies will travel slower, beat the breeze more, and should impact in a closer group if you're doing your part right . For hunting pests, heavies will have a better terminal energy as well, resulting in less follow up shots being needed, and getting a more humane kill |

I have a tin of Gamo TS-1s I think they are 10.49gr.
All the reviews I read while researching the gun did mention the kick on these, having shot the gun it was not as bad as I was expecting...
Once Ive played with it a bit more, i'll attach the scope and try a few other type of pellets.

There are a few things you need to know with these. They kick hard which effects your accuracy big time.
Do not, i repeat do not put light pellets through the gun. They sound so cool as you brake the sound barrier with those pellets but they sound so bad when you brake your spring, and you will brake your spring if you use light pellets. I recommend that you use only JSB Exact or Air Arms Field in 8.44gr and 10.3gr. or the H&N Baracuda 10.34 most others are all over the place. |

I ended up getting a Hatsan mod 125. I have only shot a few pallets so far but im enjoying it so far. The trigger is really nice compared to some other the other guns I tried. |

That one I can attest to its accuracy, belongs to a North Harbour Airgun Club member, and only last weekend I was looking at it in the flesh.
Beautiful gun, very accurate once you learn to shoot it, plenty of power for tin cans and pests as well. The guy that owns it looks after his gear, so you wont be stuck with a rifle needing money spent on it anytime soon. And the price is definately right, coming in cheaper than most off the shelf cheapies google Weirauch HW95 and youll hear nothing but praise from their owners (all that positivity about a weirauch.............from an Air Arms owner! Its the Holden vs Ford battle of the airgun world)
