myzeneye Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) well thanks a bunch axe.... would it have kept you awake at night if that thread had run to a couple of posts so that some of the more experienced airgunners here could have explained to me the qualities of each calibre ? i know i could have searched and probably found out but i was looking for a quick answer and maybe a couple of questions to make my descisions.... i was about to make an offer on a rifle but needed the question answering first ..... **** it ... close this thread too.

myzeneye Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 if it comes up that often, and im sure it probably does from us newbies, the please, make it a sticky ..... maybe each section should have a newbies faq sticky .... sorry axe, i know your just doing you part... its just frustrating to ask a question that you want an answer to and it be deemed unworthy...........

Axe Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 if it comes up that often, make it a sticky ..... Its certainly worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzeneye Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 with a bit of thought, a useful section for newbies could easily be made, explaining all the usual questions about calibres, cartridges,chokes etc as when you search for these topics, you get taken to threads about the humane killing of wheelbarrows.....

bullet boy Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 .22 in FAC and .177 in a 12ft/lbs is my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) I think we should have a sticky of useful info on this, like trajectory for each at 12ft-lbs etc. Maybe it should be left open for all the members to add their views (obviously with all the junk people post about ******* and prossies removed by the mods)? No offence to the people who add banter, I don't really have an issue with it. It can get a bit OTT when you're trying to get useful info though. What??? 8 otters is a swear word now. I never knew that Edited September 28, 2008 by njc110381 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 .22 in FAC and .177 in a 12ft/lbs is my choice. you know, and i know......But why though! others might need to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzeneye Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 trajectory .... theres anotherthing that'l need explaining in detail....probably been done a million times before too.... i need to know, i wont be the last either.... considering this post has been done to death, theres still alot of opinions/advice come forward..... i think if youve been a member for a while, you may be sick of answering it....but new members who are experienced, who havent aired their own opinions should not be denied the chance to either just because some old school pw members from the experts click are sick of acknowledging such pathetic questions.... its quite simple really, if you see a thread entiltled 177 or 22 and you cant be doing with it, dont read it... lets face it, the thread wasnt closed to prevent a clog up of the system.... surley its content must have some value on a shooting forum .... not when weve got such pearls like "whats your favourite jacket potato???" to be fair, ive had a few threads closed..." done to death" is the phrase that springs to mind.... i just wish these mods had the same enthusiasm about ALL the threads....especially when there are almost identical ones running parallel to the ones they close....... use your power to create the stickys for the newbs....
