Default Air rifles - shooting day(s)

I've just bought a new air rifle, well, only because Betts has just bought a new one as well!!
So are there any other budding marksmen or women out there interested in meeting up for a bit of target practice some time?

Seeing as though I'm a newbie at this, I don't know where we could go but I'm sure Betts or Nevetas does, and between us we could arrange a venue.

I took Betts out last week, more than happy to do it again with the both of you. We shot something abit bigger than what air rifles could handle though!

Sounds good to me mate, just got my new rifle, and they've upgraded my scope from a 3x9-40 to a 3x9-50 so am chuffed, though it's a bit heavier than I expected.

Got to set the scope up soon

pmsl........... 320m is not 30 yards Steve.lol

The fundamental metric and SI unit of distance. The meter is equal to approximately 1.093 613 3 yards, 3.280 840 feet, or 39.370 079 inches.

so you are looking at approx 350 yards.

just spent another £80 on a tuning kit to bring the power up (To under the legal limit of 12ft lbs)

a trigger tuning kit

a bigger stainless steel bolt

and new accu pell pellets as the guy reckons the Bisley Magnum which I bought are more like bricks as they're too heavy.

The 9oz tank just converts my rifle into a refillable one instead of using disposable Co2 cylinders

only yhing is though mate, if I convert the gun now, I'll loose out on a cylinder of gas, so might just have a play and practice targetting, then do the job

I thought the bolt on my rifle is a bit fiddly, so when the guy showed me bigger bolt, I had to have it!

The guy reckons the rifle is pants as standard, but with the upgrade packs I bought, the rifle will be much better to use and more acurate
