Is that because of the design of your other PCP's? What makes the difference? I don't know enough about their inner workings to know.

I hunt with PCP mostly, so its always cocked and ready to go. same if im using a multi pump. if im hunting with a springer or gas ram its cocked and loaded, but I will fire off the shot after about 20-30 minutes.

Thanks for all the reply's, I was more wondering about if it would hurt you gun...not from a safety stand point ( that's a whole different animal...) So I think the general thought is leaving a PCP cocked while waiting on a squirrel for an hour won't hurt your rifle.

I feel like the question from the original poster was about the gun and not a safety question. My opinion is if your hunting for a (day) it wont hurt your weapon to be cocked and ready to shoot whether its a springer or a PCP.
Sorry guess I was late to the party.

I will leave mine ready to shoot with safety on for some time as it wont hurt for short periods of time overnight is a no no , I don't think I would hunt with you with a loaded gun lol I understand what your asking.

Won’t hurt the gun but accidents can happen with a loaded gun, so it has always been my opinion that if my quarry escapes me because I have to load the gun then so be it. I would rather loose a hunting opportunity than take the chance of a hunting accident. No matter how safe you are we’re all human and mistakes happen.
