good starting point mate, would tell if its the gun or scope at fault.

as already said can you try another scope on the gun or the scope on another gun and go from there.

good going fella,s

hello hedd, i think the not resting on hard surfaces is to do with the recoil you get from a springer as oposed to a pcp, which causes the gun to jump. you can buy various resting bags etc but i would imagine you could make your own. if you have to rest on posts etc, just rest your hand on the post and then the rifle fore end on your hand. i think a lot of it is what works for you. nice rifle btw the tx200.

best things come to who wait pal, no news is good news n all that! frustraiting though.

too right. i suppose stepped up crow tactics are the only way with an air rifle and plently of patience. certainly gonne be a challenge for ya mate.

if you manage to shoot a few of these, you have done very well. i feel though that one you have taken a couple they will shy up. in my opion a larsen trap is the only real way to deal with these. atb aga man.

well done fella. nice bag of pigeons. welcome back to shooting. is that hushpower a 12 or 20? p.s might of been better to post this in the sporting pics. perhaps the mods will move it for ya. atb aga man

lovely looking truck fella :good:

thanks for your reply mate. gives me a bit of hope. think your right about the confidence thing. i am sure he feels that he will be in the wrong if he picks it up alive, even though he has never been told off for anything like this. he also has never retrieved anything that could bite him. its a srange one. glad to hear yours is sorted. hopefully we wil get there 1 day.

all the best mate. as far as i was concerned if you can get the guns in and lock the door happy days but if you get a jobsworth feo just smile and say ok pal what ever you say.

actions speak louder than words

would ,nt take that sort of shot at at a deer as metioned inn an earlier post. an air rifle and woodpigeon sin't the same ball park as deer and suitable rifle ask anyone. as i said not trying to cause arguments to praising the lad for his air rifle efforts. ps no doubt you know how to shoot!ask the farmers there opion after all its them who provide most of us with our sport anyway! atb aga man

my point exactly! so has george didweed or any body else :

don't feel old pal, feel experienced. the older you are the more experienced you are .

well done swiss, for all the people who frown upon us and our sport. you are passing on your trade, and in a sfe and respectable manor,from our very own east yorkshire, respect pal. atb aga man.

well done lads, pest control at its best and probablly where its needed most. should try to give up the fags though, been stopped two months and feel better for it. foxes don't smell u either, although they didn't smell you this time obviously. well done aga man.

finally someone with some sense, the farmer gives us permission to clear up the pigeons. if you turn around and say i didn't shoot cos i didn,t think i could kill it the farmer will quickly realise he/she needs someone else to protect there crops [our food[]. for the lad who shot the long range pigeon. well done i suggest his fieldcraft and airgun experience are top notch simply because its all hes got. ie no fac with rimfire etc. not trying to cause arguments but i work for farmers and in the past have worked first hand with farmers and understand the damage such pests can cause. i have shot with pcp only for long time and respect their accuracy. atb aga man

lol you was about right with the popcorn fella

well said mate.

as above. cracking picture.

lol cheers for the reply mate/ try to kill everthing but kiil a lot in a year so bound to get the odd runner , hence the dog!, seriously though this problem has been with us some time. tried all i can think of. hoping some one on here has come accross the problem. thanks anyway. aga man
