Lucky Shot 1958 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Gents, I recently purchased the above gun for vermin control ,while I do not confess to being the best shot in the world ,as of yet I have not hit anything with this gun sitting rabbits at 15 m just run off unscathed. Maybe the diameter of the silencer has something to do with it,has anybody else had similar problems with this gun and if so how I'd you rectify ? Thanks Luckyshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Put up a piece of plain wallpaper or card at 20 yards, with a large dot marked on it, then do a quickmount and fire at the dot. It's entirely possible you are firing 1 or 2 feet out. Do also bear in mind that if you are using subsonic cartridges then the power drop can be quite considerable, and with it the killing range. Hushpowers are still relatively quiet with 'normal' cartridges though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I always found, that if you can see what your aiming at, YOU'LL MISS IT see your rabbit shoulder gun raise until the silencer hides mr wabbit depending on distance, depends how much you need to raise, which is why the above advice about trying out the card first is spot on, this should be done with any gun/rifle before moving onto live quarry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bry-M Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 As said above, the size of the hush power barrel means if you're using the bead on top you'll be aiming too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 As said above, the size of the hush power barrel means if you're using the bead on top you'll be aiming too high. Actually means you'll be aiming too low. I normally aim mine at what I'm shooting then raise the barrel so I can't see the target any more, then bang! (As stubby already said).

turbo33 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 As above You will be surprised at the amount of lead you need with the subs, but once you've sorted it, they are cracking fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Shot 1958 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I have a Yildiz wildfowler despite the bad press that Turkish guns receive in my opinion this is a cracking gun for the price and it can certainly handle some rough treatment on the foreshore.
