Got some Predators
« on: November 30, 2008, 07:39:50 PM »
Hey Guys,
Got some predators the other day.  They are as great as you all say......Pic of 5 shot group at 10 mtrs from rest outside with the good old Gamo 440.  I am going down South for Christmas to the In Laws where they have a heap of small game  - rabbits,hares,pidgeons,cats and heaps of foxes (might be a bit ambitious for the 440).  Hopefully will get some photos to send post when I get back. (will be away from a computer)

Anyhow I am getting in early and wishing all a Great Safe Christmas to all of you and good hunting.

Rob

Thanks i will try my best.  My 440 shoots about average FPS for the gun.  I have not put it over a Chrony yet.  I was wondering with good shot placement what range would be the limit for it on a rabbit.

The best hunting pellets bar none!!!   You will be astonished at their performance in small game.  I don't know the velocity of your gamo but if you can get the pellet there the predator will do the rest.  Just remember the three rules of airgun hunting: shot placement! shot placement! shot placement!
