Spring gun shooting.

J-S mentioned people buying an airgun and then getting disheartened with it. I bet that happened a lot at the beginning of lock down. I remember reading in the paper about the trade that Gun City did on the couple of days before it happened. There was a photo in the paper of a big queue outside the shop somewhere in Auckland.

I still have the Airgun Book, Lost some  photos when I retrieved it from the old forum. Maybe a quick edit and maybe I could try the photo thing again.

Dead Right. Gamo have improved their trigger with the new SAT model. Not too bad and can be improved with a longer adjustment screw. All that really does is half disengage the trigger sears. The GRTiv trigger is just a lot better. I haven't tried the CAT model.  That has two adjustment screws for first and second stage.

you definatly right about that and it applies to most other types of guns too,spring guns have allways been for me a type of airgun i never really got on with that well particully when it came to the more powerful ones,i have a BSA rifle here that i just cant shoot well,as said in an earlier post its got a mean spring in it and the damned thing just jumps around all over the place for me,there is proberly nothing wrong with the rifle i just cant get the hang of this particular rifle for some reason,i allways found many of the triggers on the more powerful spring rifles could never be adjusted to give the type of clean breaking light triggers i like and this very certainly affected how they shot for me,been spoilt for so long now with the excellent triggers on my pcp airguns and the lack of recoil that any spring gun never going to compete with the pcps now,but its not allways bout triggers and recoil either some times its about finding the right pellets for a particular gun too,as well as mastering the art again of shooting spring guns.its like anything i guess you dont use it you lose it eh,and thats my problem would say with springers these days,just dont use them any more,and when i do have lost the skills eh!!

these rediculously high velocitys are just a marketing ploy to catch the unwary who dont understand how pellet firing airguns work,fact is that many these high velocity airguns will proberly work very well with heavy 15/16gr pellets,my 177 cal pcp rifle pushs 10.34gr pellets out muzzle at 980fps for 22 fpe 15/16gr pellets out at approx 850 fps dont know exactly as havnt chronoed these pellets yet,but know for sure that 7.9/8 gr pellets break sound barrier evan with suppressor on there is a loud crack from muzzle.they seem shoot ok at short distances but its a certainty they wont when they drop back thru sound barrier,Gamo a big pusher of their high velocity rifles as are a few others,false advertising really and gun shops proberly know it too,all about selling more guns for sure,have no probs bout selling high velocity airguns as long as those they are told the truth and advised to use the correct pellet weights in them,but unfortunatly very few are,so these guns get put aside and end up convincing new airgun buyers that airguns are waste of time as they cant hit anything with them.
