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.

I'm not too far from you (in Feilding). 

If you need any advice - or a range to shoot on and zero in your rifles - you're most welcome to come over here.  I'm on a rural lifestyle property outside of Feilding and have a good knowledge of airgunning and shooting in general (65 years of shooting worldwide!).  I shoot on local farms too, carrying out Pest Control.

Private Message me for my location details, if you'd like to come over.

PS:  Look up the Artillery Hold on Youtube.  You'll need to use that technique to shoot Springers accurately.

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!

Sounds great!  I'll send you a Private Message tomorrow so we can discuss a get together and air rifle shoot and discussion.

I think you'll love air-gunning  - the air technology today provides powerful, accurate and very enjoyable shooting that is cheap to run (after you've bought your rifle)!

Much cheaper than rimfires, centrefires or shotguns today!!!  

Talk soon..... Myson.

Just sent you a Private Message (PM).  You can read that by going to your Messages tab.

Please get back to me via email or phone....

Cheers, Myson.

I don't have access to messaging within the forums yet - possibly due to being new, or possibly one of the moderators needs to enable?

Anyway - not a panic as I won't have much free time for until next month.

I'll hear from you when you're ready.... 

Do you promise not to scam or spam?

THANKS Nunga 

THANKS for looking into this for  me

I have done some tweaking to the system so you should be able to access things now.

I had to put restrictions on new members because we had problems with scammers trying to scam our members. I have adjusted these setting now making it quicker to gain access to the sites full features.

Can you please have another look at the settings on my account - the messaging has  dropped off again.

THANKS
