for those of you that have PCPs but started out on springers, do you still shoot your springers much?
personally i do, i find that a session shooting a springer makes my accuracy improve when i pick up the PCP. |

| I barely have time to shoot anything these days- but the introduction of PCP's into the "collection" has not changed my use of springers (when I have a chance to shoot). |

My fear of the darkside or the even darker (rimmies) is that I won't be able to shoot springers anymore.
I would still shoot them far more because now I only have about 20 yards max. |

| I still shoot both my springers and CO2 guns more than I shoot my PCP. I just like them better. |

| I like pcp's because they are the only type of air rifle that can be fired in outer space. |

Not true, Roger. If you manage to hit a gas pocket then a springer would work. A CO2 powered gun would also work if you were in direct sunlight which would heat it.
EDIT: on second thought... the CO2 might boil off anyway due to the pressure when you release it. |

Thinking about it....i cant really shoot the Evanix at home
its not a backyard plinker at 65fpe...
the Career Infinity I wined down to 400fps..but still
tend to grabb a springer...the 1377 is my plinker
of choice at the moment..but that could change
at any time....

definitely prefer the PCP...
onsofaras shooting ANY gun in outer space...remember..."for every action, there is an equal and opposite REaction"...soooooo...you'd probably rocket off in the opposite direction of the shot unless you were tied to an anchor...  |
