Guest stevo Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) hello all , well I popped out this afternoon for an hour to shoot some feral pigeons , and thought this is a perfect opportunity to try out my new .177 HW 100 TK , so off I went . the idea was to shoot up inside the barn , thing is it was full of cows , so I had to sit outside ( not the best set up , but the famer wants it sorting ) anyway I sat and watched for a while , just to try and find the best spot to set myself up , when I noticed the birds dropping onto a roof of a derelict house behind me about 40 yrds . so in a moment of madness ha-ha , I had my plan , instead of choosing either the barn of the house , I parked my Van bang in the middle , sat in the passenger seat , opened both widows ........ and bobs your uncle ! both points covered , I was shooting out 40 yrds towards the house and 50 yrds into the roof space of the barn , I wish I had a bit longer , but will be back up there soon enough I shot a total of 10 birds , but managed to pick up 6 , ( one stuck on roof , two in the hawthorns as they fell off roof , and one in the barn that the blooming cows mushed into the straw and ill be ******** if I could find it ) Anyway not my biggest bag but good for the time I was there , and really enjoyed using the rifle for the first time on feather , Very impressed with its performance , even out to 50 yrds it was dropping the birds with ease , and very accurate . very happy indeed ,I can see it getting used loads . atb stevo https://www.dropbox.com/sc/jduuxi9y7xsqpbo/AACUWyNRs16DFy191yTCjOtsa Edited January 20, 2015 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenshooter Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yep, the pic download is working fine. Delighted you've had a good day with the HW. PCPs are amazing. I've one dedicated to squirrel. A small carbine that's been FACed to around 20ft lb whcih gives the 22 pellet a similar trajectory to a 177. Don't get to my wood that often but it's devastating on the squirrels when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Nice work Stevo , you will soon wonder how you have managed so long without a airgun . When I get cereals behind the garden fence and the pigeon get on them I have managed to knock 30 or more off the wires that run along there from the patio door !

Guest stevo Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Nice work Stevo , you will soon wonder how you have managed so long without a airgun . When I get cereals behind the garden fence and the pigeon get on them I have managed to knock 30 or more off the wires that run along there from the patio door ! im starting to see exactly what you mean fenboy . another thing I must point out . one of deciding factors for buying this little carbine , was the stock , even though its a thumbhole , its a dead straight stock with the same profile on both sides which gives me the option of shooting it left and right handed like I did tonight , and like I said the overall size of it means I can swap from left to right inside the front of my van without struggling , Edited January 20, 2015 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely with you brother, I dismissed air for years after I got rifles and shotguns, I've just invested in an HW100, and its humbled me. The golf course I shoot has become more productive, the ferals in the over winter beast barns have been rattled, great things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Sounds like heaven That's how most of my rabbiting is done, heated seats on, hot blowers on, few snifters (I don't need to go on the roads to get to my shooting land), and a dog that'll pick up down the lamp beam. I proper Lord it up😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
