Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

44 goats and 4 red deer this afternoon. Bloody good avo, 3 of us shooting, bumped several smaller mobs of goats through the afternoon and not one got away, therefore none trained for next time. Been a while since I had a decent goat cull.

70m not uncommon with the English. People shoot out to 100.
I shoot to 50-55m with one, it would pull 70m head shot and kill rabbit. Another up to 25m as group starts to widen after that (gamo) .
Another to 20m/25m for birds, won't touch rabbits with it till increase power. Then 20m on rabbits.
Other one is pump and haven't used it as waiting for steel breech. Hoping it will cover 30 to 40m+
Prices range from $300 to $1200 with out scope.
The top end one is an air arms rifle. weihrauch is anther top brand.
Midrange one is gamo $500. Be careful with gamo they have some good an some shit guns.
I got a bad one. That's won't shot it past 25m. It's got way enough power for 50m
$ 300 ones both pump action crosman. One waiting for breech. The other is my favorite Gun. And lest powerful I have.
You get what you pay for basically.

Go over to kiwi air gunners and ask the question, maybe with a price range. Lot of guys there have owned multiple hunting air rifles.

You can't go wrong with Air Arms or Weihrauch, springers and PCP's. The only Weihrauch i would avoid is the HW57, due to it's accuracy-killing loading port. Air Arms and Weihrauch spingers usually only need a tiny bit of trigger adjustment and Weihrauch breakbarrels sometimes need the barrel pivot bolt tension slightly adjusted for maximum accuracy. You will have a lifetime of enjoyment from these quality air rifles.

My Weihrauch HW95 .177 scored this last night at about 30m. My wife hates magpies so a few brownie points for me!


H&N Barracuda 10.65gr for those who care for such info.

Dirty little asparagus eater meets his maker.

Seems to be quite 'intact' for a little fella. I usually find they dont hold together that well. What did you use to send him on his way?

I imagine the taste of raw asparagus was enough to do it.

12 future Starlings taken care of so far this spring. All without firing a shot.

CCI .22lr sub. You're right. It didn't make much of a mess. Side on through the shoulder at 15m.

Nine in one shot.Now that is economical!
