Hello all, Life time Spinger shooter. Around 2013 I was looking to purchase a new Pellet rifle and I stumbled upon Ted's videos. I believe the first one was a 100 yard bird shot. I thought no way in heck with a pullet rifle, I've been shooting these all my life, just no way! I couldn't believe what I saw. I was amazed the range of these shots.
ever heard of or saw anything about "PCP" air rifle before. I decided after watching his review of the Discovery it would be a good way to try out Airguns on more of a budget and see what I think.
Once it arrived I was hooked. The range and accuracy was like no other pullet rifle I used before. I go hunting a lot, with springers past 40 yards its pretty iffy if your going to get something. This simple entry level air rifle I was taking on game 70 yards. For the first time I had to learn about hold over, it was never an issue because I could never before shoot at this range
.
It didn't take long before I bought a scuba tank and was at the range. People crowd around me wondering what the heck it is that i'm shooting when they saw me fill it with the scuba tank. I guess we live under a rock here in PA.
The following year I purchased the .25 Cricket. Now i'm hitting pest birds myself past 100 yards.
One thing that I couldn't really find during my research in the discovery is, can it hit 100 yards? I made this video back in 2013 but just got around to posting it.
I also did a video of 30 different pellets @ both 25 and 50 yards for testing to discover which is the best for this gun. If that's something you guys would be interested in i'll post it. From all my testing I found that for my Discovery it prefers the H&N Baracude Match 21.14 . Little heavy but it's very smooth flight. Because of the weight you might have to adjust your scope up a click or two if you give them a try. The Crosman Premier 14.30gr is what is recommended. They do work well, I find the 21.14 to be a bit more stable and smooth.
I recently moved and joined a Gun club in the area. In a few weeks I'll finally have time to head up there. I'll hook up the camera on the cricket, it's quite amazing.
Hope this handy for those looking to get in to PCP Air Rifles and have their eye on the Discovery. At the time I used a cheap flimsy plastic table so please excuse the shaky scope.
