Canines have an incredible sense of smell and excellent hearing. He could have smelled or heard you. I was staked out hunting a fox. There was no way he could see me but when I clicked the safety off, he looked right at me and then bolted. He came back a few minutes later and I dropped him. If...

Thanks very much for posting your results, I'm glad to hear that you're happy with the pellets. Even with the flyer, that is an impressive five shot group.

The Air Arms TX200 MkIII is a beautiful “bit-of-kit” as the British would say. The wood stock and the bluing are exquisite and the trigger is second-to-none. Unlike less expensive air rifles that I’ve owned, the TX200 performs consistently well and is therefore very predictable. I know exactly...

I agree with JohnL57, H&N Baracuda Green work very well in my TX200. The tin pellets are harder than lead and pass through is to be expected.
