Title: A little something for air gun shooters:
Post by: coyotehunter_1 on May 11, 2013, 11:11:11 PM
If our current political administration has their way, like our shooting brothers in the UK, we may soon all be pushing air.

Interesting clip. I wonder how many batterys he eats up a day. The LCD screens will go through batterys faster then cupcakes at a pot party. Using the camera as the scope view has to be pretty taxing.

Interesting to watch.  That crow was sure lucky.

Air rifles are really cool. I like the way you can see the pellet strike the target in the video.

Over in Great Britain their air rifles are even regulated.  :rolleye: They cannot produce more than 12FPE (Foot Pounds Energy).  So they have to really watch their velocity and pellet weight, otherwise they are in serious trouble.  My stock Benjamin Marauder shooting at 850 Fps with a 14.3grain pellet produces about 23 FPE.  Most airgun companies in G.B. actually produce two different versions of the same rifle.  One to be sold in the USA (High power), and one to be sold in Great Britain (sub 12 FPE rifles).

I really like my .25 cal Benjamin Marauder.  I have it sighted in at 50 yards.  With the 25 grain pellets it is a little more than 4 mil dots low at 100 yards.
