Both these replies were great help, thanks alot. One other thing is I always find I'm very shakey through the scope, especially from an standing shooting position. I always thought it was because I wasn't strong enough when I was younger with a heavy springer, but now with a light pcp and more strength I'm sure it can't be that. I know the breathing out tip but is there anything else to this? Perhaps its just practice.

Guns great, recieved fine, Simon was great to deal with.

Hello, I'm using a FX verminator with 3-9 x 40 scope, and when shooting at garden range... 20 yards or so. I can do good groups but as soon as I extend the range, or shoot upwards. (without re zeroing) i'm all over the place. Im wondering if there is a good guide to using the milldots / holdover etc anywhere online or in any of the popular books. E.g. In this video: When he does holdunder for example, is it because he's shooting upwards or is it relative to his scope zero? If you were shooting upwards (requiring holdunder) and at a longer range than the scope is zero'd for would they cancel each other out to some degree? Thanks, Ps. Been practicing on targets and twigs etc, not quarry.

Go for the TDR if you need take down ability for transport etc. If not go for the s410 for the higher shot count/ cheaper price.

Does anyone know which gun the bottom one is? Is it legal in the uk with fac? Thanks Tom

Hey, Ah kk, so why do you get more with a shotty then? Are you going to decoy with your shotty? When people hunt with air rifles, is the generally accepted way to wait in bushes watching a field or watching tree's. When I used to hunt with my Cometa 300, We just used to walk around looking for pigeons in the trees. Cheers Tom

Cheers Im going to, (the birds ) Do people ever decoy with airrifles? Cheers

Hey, Ok that sounded short but the reason was Im browsing this on my phone and loading each page takes like 2 minutes...I thought I'd do the profile when I get home. Other things going on- I was refering to currently being away from home, in scotland with my auntie in hospital...hence the phone browsing. I appreciate the help I was getting and looked thoroughly at all the resources. Thanks Tom

Geez I do have other things in my life you know.

Ya what?

Hey, Thanks, I think this threads given me enough to think about/look into for now. cheers I'll get the profile done, you said about beating at the local shoot... Im not sure how you find them...who does them etc etc. Are they the paid shoots? Thanks

Hey, Kk thanks alot I wouldn't pay for the urban shooting, just offer it free. So what do people do who want to get involved but don't have any mates who shoot. Try a clay pigeon club? Then pay to shoot, is that the normal route. I'd imagine its harder to get permission for a 22 rifle than a shotgun. Cheers Guys

kk will do, Strange? Maybe you mean the urban shooting...I don't mean with shotguns

Hey, Im from the northumberland area, and looking to get into some hunting. Im not too clued up on the different types of hunting you can do ( im taking small game like rabbits/pigeons/ etc etc. Which are cheap? If you can't get permission for land etc, where can you pay and what can you hunt? Can a shotgun certificat be obtained without permentant land to shoot on? Also would it be easier to get pigeon shooting permission in urban places, than on farmers land, Im guessing less people like to do it? Any information/help/advice much appreciated Thanks
