Sundodger Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hi Guys went out last night for the first time after some bunnies shot at loads but got none. Was wondering if it was me or the pellets or even the gun ( wiehraugh HW77)The Pellets that I am using are spitfires. you would think that I couldn`t hit a barn door after last night , I have done loads of practice at targets and seem to have a good pattern all with an inch of the centre I am not using a Bipod just the good old arms. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 If you know the pellets work when you are practicing then they should be fine in the field. (However I would try H&N Field Taerget Trophies in a HW77 as they are the mutts nuts in Wackers!) Are you taking the shot in the same position as you are practicing in? Taking a prone shot when you have zero'ed in standing can alter the POI. Another thing is that in the field distance estimation can go to pot in the heat of the moment. Just a couple of ideas, basically the same areas that I have messed up on in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 It's really difficult to say what the problem is. Was it windy? What range were you shooting at? What was your zero range? Do you know if the Spitfires are a nice consistant pellet (weight-wise)? All of these things will have a factor in how they shoot, but knocking inch groups out is a reasonably good indication. I use accupel myself (.22) and I can shoot inch or better at 30m from prone with just my arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattisphat Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hi iv acquired bisley magnums and pest control (hollow point) but cant seem to get the accuracy i want on them. i found that crosman Vermin pell and air arms diablo (i think) were the most accurate so far any ideas. i have a falcon FN19 . matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA Shaun Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 If its the same pellet you are using with your targets I can't see the problem unless they are really poor quality. I personally use Accupels, and can consistantly hit good groups with these. Could have been wind or distance tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I use JSB Exacts, Air Arms Field and Logun Penetrators. I get the best groups with the JSB's then the Air Arms then The Loguns. The loguns are definately my favourite for hunting though as they have got some serious knock down powere and I still get one hole groups with them, theyre just a margin larger than the JSB groups.

Cyber Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Surely they will have Air arms field?? Maybe not the JSB's or the Penetrators but almost ALL shops sell the AA Field as they are probs one of the most popular pellet imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
