Bigbob Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 When we used to shoot the rabbits at work i would always put a springer in the car as a back up in case there where any problems with the air arms and used to shoot a couple of rabbits with it each outing but after using the air arms at night you really noticed the difference in the noise lol My son couldn't make it one night so i took a mate and his springer next day he couldn't move his arm he had to pump the gun that much LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
