22lr and Horses

As others have said, Horses are unpredictable at the best of times. I have grown up horse riding and some will jump at their own shadow and others would be happy grazing on a gunnery range, then you get the others that display either characteristic 10 minutes apart and for no apparent reason. :lol: If they are going to spook they will regardless of air rifle / .22lr or just a torch beam going around.

The .22lr is a fantastic round in the right situation, but for me i wasn't content to use it many places. Myself shooting mostly small holdings I didn't keep my .22lr fore than 6 months as I was never at ease with the ricochets regardless of the backstop. I kept my HMR and as I already had PCP charging kit I went for a FAC Air-Rifle, (.22 @ 30ftlb) and its a great tool for this setup, also great on the shoot for squirrels and corvids filling the gap between 17HMR and sub 12ftlb air-rifle. 

:good:
