eccles Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 No it won't I can see this power thing is getting you down.Check your zero again.Get it chronoed.IF it's 11.5 it should shoot half inch high mid range if it's zeroed at 35yards.From target half inch low, mid way half inch high, zero 35 yards.With standard pellets.

kyska Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 10.5ft/lb is ample at sensible ranges, its about how well you can shoot straight dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat toad Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi you only need four pound of power to kill a bunny and below to kill birds and rats I think in your case it's what range you will get with your rifle at the moment to safely kill said animals perhaps some one else can explain better when you have it cronoed Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 11-11.5 ft lbs is ideal for hunting you dont want to be any nearer 12ft lb as you are risking going over the legal limit depending on different pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat toad Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi yer fenboy you know more then me about this is their a formula to this say when he as it croned on Sunday and say it came 10.8 what would be is ideal kill range I don't know I know what you said 11-11.5 would be good but how do you work it out regards Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Mule Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Mine kicks out an average of 11ft/lbs and I use RWS Superdomes. I zero at 24.1m which means that I have a '1" kill zone' from 5m to 27.3m. Once you have Chrono'd your rifle, install Hawke Chargun Pro and have a dabble.

I do know however that 10.8 is more than enough for humane kills at sensible airgun ranges which for me is 30-40 yards maximun the most important thing is accuracy not power, I always go for headshots on pigeons and rabbits ,I know some advocate chest shots on pigeon but I have never found them 100% reliable.
