Got my first PCP! It's a Kral Puncher Breaker Silent .22. I couldn't be happier with it. The trigger is the nicest I've ever had and the side lever is super smooth and snickety.
I'm getting 5/8" groups at 40 yards with JSB Exact Heavies (18g). From a bag it's pretty rare for me to miss an army man.
It's taught me a lesson about scopes: magnification doesn't matter at this range. I don't shoot any better at 24x than I do at 6x. The gun's HEAVY--8.5 pounds by itself. It's not a big-enough deal for me to change it but if I had it to do over again I'd have gotten a Bug Buster 3-9x32 instead of the behemoth I bought. I could drop a pound off the overall weight. Ah well, hindsight
At full power I'm getting 4 magazines(48 shots) going from 200 down to 100 bar. The last 3 or 4 shots sometimes drop a little--about 1/2" at most. I can't see myself putting a regulator in it.
I've got a paintball tank to fill it but I don't bother. at home. It takes less than a minute to pump it back up with the Yong Heng compressor. They're nice and portable to take on a hunt though since they fit right in the case.
Already got my first squirrel!
I think I was moving too fast last weekend and only got the one. I bet I scared away a bunch that I never saw. I'm hoping for a few more this weekend if I can walk with a bit more patience.
I got a cheap shooting stick to try out. Seems a lot better than a tree so far and it's pretty quick to adjust. We'll see how it goes.
I'm going on Saturday since deer season is closed to archery that day. I bet I have Myrtle Grove mostly to myself. Wish me luck!
