kipper Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hello chaps and ladies, (if there are any ladies on here) what would you say has had the biggest impact / improvement on your shooting. what has got u hitting the bull eye or filling the freezer with quarry. would it be buying a pcp rifle, or a by pod or a sling or a new scope or a new brand of pellets. or mabe just practice, getting to now your set up, getting to now your limits are all the add on's just gimics or do they work??? do they give us a little more confidence??? what do you think???

Poacher Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I would have to say practice without a doubt. In order to improve at anything really requires sustained (i.e frequent) practice. Frequency of the practise is the key, as you often go rusty after long spells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipper Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Good point poacher as the saying goes practice makes perfect. thanks Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldandnew Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 practice is a damn good thing but then if you can inhance your practice sessions by using the best tool for the job ,then surely youve got to be on a winner i thought i was shooting ok and hitting bull ' ish targets at 20-30-40-45-50 yrds but then got my harris bipod and now virtually hit bull all the time even out at 65 so a work person is only as good as the tool that they have (doesnt sound the same with person - should be man - but there might be ladies present ) rgds oldandnew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theskyfox Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yeah, Id firstly say practice because technique really is everything - especially with 22 calibre rifles I found because you have to hold just that little bit longer. Bipods are great for making you more accurate and of course finding the best type of pellets for your gun! -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caplock Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Practice aside, buying the best equipent you can afford or saving up that bit longer will prove rewarding in the long run. If you can start off with quality kit your shooting will not only be that much more enjoyable but good results can be achieved quicker and without the disapointment factor of the performance limitations associated with a lot of the budget kit that seems to flood the market. I.e cwap triggers, iffy optics and hard to obtain spare parts from Bejing! Believe me I speak from experiance!! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipper Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 thanks for all the replies. last week I braugth a deben max pro lamping kit, and a harris swivel by-pod, the lamp is fantastick. I went out with it on friday night in some fields at the back of our caravan site(no Im not a pikie). usually there is dozen's of rabbits but with a full moon a heavy frost and fire works in the distance the rabbits were few and far between the ones we did see were off before we could get close enough for a shot. however I approched the spot where we allways see rabbits almost guaranteed to see a couple. I flicked lamp on and there it was, a pair of eyes @ about 25-30 yards just where the rabbits allways are. I lined him up in the cross hair and when I was on target I squeezed the trigger. followede by the crack of the pellet making contact with the prey, and the lights went out. I kept the lamp on and dimed it down as my dad walked over to pick dinner up, when he got to where it was he said **** me as he picked up a bloody grait big hare. I could not beleive it. I was well chuffed with myself . the crop he was sat in was about 6-7" high. if I new it was a hare I probably would not have taken the shot. but he is in the fridge covered in maranade. I could not beleive how mutch meat he had on him. Hope you dont start slating me for this . is it legal to shoot hares this time of year I have not had chance to fix the by-pod to the gun yet so I cant coment on that yet.
