Thanks for your input Toxylon. So far I think I'm doing right by my springers and will continue the practice of not leaving them cocked other than while hunting.

Hi all, today I caught another busy digging up the yard again. I grabbed my Gamo Varmint and loaded a Gamo Redfire 7.8 grn pellet and wacked it in the back of it's head from around 15 ft. with a Gamo Varmint .177 rated at (printed on the barrel) 1250 fps. From that range I don't think I could...

Loving all the Data supplied here, thanks to all that did so. :cool:

Thank You!
