No way you can get that sort of accuracy from a Gamo. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

I have my reasons to believe that Gamo airguns aren't as innacurate as they are. And for as far as they say they're cheap, well, over here they're pretty good. That Crosman is a Chinese clone of a Gamo, for as far as I know. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 11:09 am Midichlorian Veteran Member Joined: 25 May 2009 Posts: 333 Location: Middle of the Desert WOW great head shot Do you like the Storm.

It seems to be hold sensitive and i dont really like shooting rabbits with it because every rabbit ive shot with it needed a follow up shot to kill it. I dont know if that is because of the distance i was shooting from or if it was just the gun but overall i like it. It keeps the squirrels out of the bird feeders =) _________________ Shhhhh Be vewy vewy quiet im huntin wabbits!!!   Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 12:22 pm Jaxom Senior Member Joined: 06 Aug 2008 Posts: 927 I don't wanna start a fire storm here, but... Even at close range I wouldn't take a shot at a rabbit unless I had a .22 caliber ag. Yes, I'm aware other have taken bunnies with a .177, I personally just don't feel comfortable doing it. _________________ .22 2300kt Crosman Custom   Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 12:31 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Jaxom wrote: I don't wanna start a fire storm here, but...

Agreed, over here we hugely recommend .22 for anything larger then a Squirrel. We actually recommend .22 for a lot of hunting. With smaller animals though, .177 will probably be sufficient. One could also go for .20, when available. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 12:32 pm Rogerflat Silver Status Member Joined: 03 Jan 2008 Posts: 2051 Are you kidding me. Bunnies are very weak. I shot one in the gut with a bb gun once and it was enough to kill it. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

A .22 will certainly do the job. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 12:41 pm Mobley317 Member Joined: 25 May 2009 Posts: 40 Location: Dayton, Oh Truthfully I think this gun is sufficient to take them with.It's just im not all that great of a shot. Like this rabbit here i was aiming at his head and i hit him in the neck. I notice that a lot of my shots were going wide left but I fixed that. Everytime I would pull the trigger I would pull my arm to the left for some odd reason but I dont do that anymore and now my shots are dead on. _________________ Shhhhh Be vewy vewy quiet im huntin wabbits!!!   Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 12:46 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Maybe it had a bit to do with your trigger control. Always softly squeeze it, in stead of yanking. Can be hard, especially when hunting. A lot of spring guns also tend to roll. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 12:55 pm Rogerflat Silver Status Member Joined: 03 Jan 2008 Posts: 2051 I don't aim based on where my scope is zero'd at. I aim based on where my shots end up hitting. Maybe my scope is dead on, but if I'm pulling shots to the left, I'll compensate by aiming slightly to the right. The key to shooting is consistency. If you always pull the shots the same way, you can easily correct for that. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers. Never needed any minister to figure my divinity.
