Farthest springer kill

[iAMzehTOASTY1]

I've seen lots of posts about super far pcp kills. Not much about springer max distance kills targets are one thing but I'm wondering how far a springer can carry a well placed pellet and still kill*I'm talking small game,not boars and deer* so far my max is about 30 yards on a dove with my rugerfor now!
So im starting this thread! Hahaha Let 'er rip!

I got a squirrel at 43yds with my tx200 in .22 a few years back. I practiced a LOT with that gun before I became decently accurate. Bummer I sold it, but I’ll have another 1 day. Super accurate and fun to shoot. So far the best springer I’ve ever owned.

I keep my kills under forty yards. Longer range shots and I change platforms to PCP / powder burner.

I'm not a good springer shooter, my record is 48 yards with a 12 fpe tuned XS46U from Mike Melick.

Pretty good in my book for sub 12

Just under 70yds with my 17fpe .22 97K but the one I was most proud of was my 55yd brain slapper on a squirrel with my 12fpe .22 HW50S. Basically mortared that one in there.

I'm thinking 50 might be max at even trying for a good clean kill

Sounds good to me!

Dead gopher from 71 yards away with my .22 Sig Sauer ASP20

About 10 years ago I shot a pest bird at about 80 yards with my break barrel gamo with a JSB pellet. I routinely could hit a milk jug at 100 yards at the time even though I know that isn't that great either. I consider it a lucky shot looking back but was still deader than a door nail.

My 2 airguns buddies have shot 65 and 66 yard crows. Both bodyshots, fell over DRT. One with a 177 TX200 and the other a .177 rws break barrel, not sure which model.

My farthest kill was back in 1985 with my .177 Webley Vulcan. It was a bird walking down a dirt road. It was 77 strides away. No range finders then. My farthest shot was on my buddy at over 200 yards, but I didn’t kill him so it doesn’t count.

When I was young and dumb I was out with my brand new 20 cal beeman RX gas ram, and decided to shoot at a Jack rabbit about 80 yards away. I held up with my plain Jane duplex reticle. Took three shots, then finally it just lay over on its side. For all I know all three went in him as he never jumped or flinched, just lay over dead.

I would never attempt that today with a springer

I had a .177 Beeman R9 probably 25 years ago. I used it to shoot starlings out of a pine tree 55 yards from my back deck. Don't know how many I killed but it was a bunch.

My latest one was just dumb luck for me and bad luck for squirrel..

One was running back and forth at about my 75y rack and i just so happen to be shooting the gamo .22. so one trip across he stopped like to chew a acorn and posed . I was just going to take a pot shot at or near his tall / butt to scare him off and just as i pulled the trigger he turned around and i bopped him in the head and rolled him over.. dumb luck shot... Like you got to be kidding..lol

It was 50 yards. Pigeon landed on the top of the target stand when I was playing with 10.3 grain Zan .177 slugs in my TX200 MKIII. Front facing chest shot with entry no exit.

While I think long shots past 50yds are not worth taking for a springer, because the chances are hurting not killing,it is a never-the-less good question, which leads me to the best shot I ever did and it was with a Daisey model 25 BBgun,past 60 ft. and yes it was dead,I had no idea I could hit it,I have felt bad about it for 50 years.
Kill what you aim for and make sure you really want it dead is my advice.
