Title: Finally got a good weather day for The Longbow S.E.
Post by: harry palmer on May 31, 2013, 08:10:07 AM

,to try to get some groups going....I ended up shooting this neat best of the day 3 shot group at 27 yds in zero wind using 16g (0.22) JSBs.The Walther barrel also liked Superdomes and H&N F&TTs, but the the "Jizzbaahhs!", just shaded them slightly!Only down side to this rifle is the firing cycle ,you don`t get buzz or twang, but you do get a hefty thump from the piston going about it`s business and a quite loud muzzle report from the short barrel! :o

That's quite a snazzy looking chooter you have there!!  Shoots tiny lil groups too!!!

I haven't shot mine past 50' but don't expect it to shoot that well!  I agree 100% with your description of the firing cycle. I like the ergonomics of that 13" barrel! Mine likes those JSB 11g too. I am also pleased to discover it shoots the cheap Crosman Destroyers good too. They have been working well for me on Rats in true hen house.

Good to know about the destroyers!, taking out rats is really satisfying (and a public service!), filthy nasty things;-they actually make my skin crawl!! :o,keep up the good work!!

Thanks Robert ,it is a comfortable gun to shoot,it tends to fit most folks really well and it is inherantly accurate (but NOISY!!)....which means when you miss there`s nobody to blame but yourself!! ???
