Default Re: Which type of gun?

hi Dale
have a look in one of the monthly's, there are usually plenty of adds inside them.
Wiehrauch or HW for some reason do make top notch spring rifles and their triggers are a joy to put in the hand, so much so i also treated myself to a HW97k a few months ago when I got back into the sport.

As you say you are new to the sport you should put lots of practice in on some kind of target range, firstly with paper targets and then with a knock over somat like this which ensures that any pellets stay on your property. do lots of this before you go any where near a live target.
a clean kill ensures the pray dosn't get pumped up with adrenalin that will taint the meet.

any more questions just jump in, some one will probably know the answer.

one last thing, the pellet catcher was the same price in my local gun shop so make chums with the local chap and you could end up saving a lot of postage.
