Carbonrocket Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I now have three rifles but one is for sale. I am not a poor shot by any standard but have found now I have a new Ultra I find maybe that I am compensating for shots by carrying experience on different rifles. Anyone else find that you really have to concentrate with different rifles with the POI at different ranges. I think I have to go to the range and practice practice practice or stick with just the two rifles. Carbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each rifle will tell you something different- listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I write notes to help remember the difference between outfits. The same applies if/when you change ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realtreedave Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 ive had as many as 5 air rifles on the go at once .all i do is when i practice,igo through all my rifles in one sitting,this means i dont favour any one rifle for accuracy.i think the trick is practice,if your situation doesnt allow,stick to one gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I suggest you stick to one gun. You can spend time with it and get to know exactly what it will do. The best air rifle I ever had was my AA S200 .177, in my 25 yard garden I used to be able to hit a 5p with every shot, and on a good day I could shoot five shots through one hole the size of a .22 pellet! I have to admit I'm a bit of a collector with firearms, but each one has a use for something that cannot be covered easily by another. If you can cover all your needs with one gun, you will be a better shot for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noluv6 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I have had so many at one time you would not believe and I often have same gun in 177-22 and 20 if possible. I find it is only the 22 rifle's that cause any POI problem's as 177 is so straight and you get use to it. Of course all rifle's are different,even if exact same rifle for many reason's,fill pressure,pellets,barrel tightness,regulator,consistency,shot count. Every hunter should have at least 3 rifle's in his cupboard and why? dedicated night vision, dedicated long range, dedicated close range. saying that you could have way more if you bought,pcp/springer/shotgun/rim fire/centre fire into it as they all have there own purpose. just my opinion but as stated it would only widen your experience and increase your learning and shot's. I highly recommend you also keep a springer as pcp are not as reliable "even though i favour pcp's for that matter". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
