Default picked up a used gamo hunter extreme last night-wow!

ive only gotten to test fire it, but holy cow this thing hits like a ton of bricks. Supposed to shoot the pba pellets at 1650 fps. This is the rifle you see them shoot the 200 lbs feral pigs with on their website and drop em. I cant wait to go after squirrel this season

Air rifles can be thrown off by the way you hold them as well. make sure everything is staying consistant. Good luck with your new critter-gitter. I love my Gamo Big Cat 1200

yeah now that ive read up on air rifles i do realise the way i was shooting the rife probably wasnt good....im going to go back with a sandbag setup for next time. I havent had a chance to change out the trigger, im thinking that will help too. Been crazy busy with work but as soon as i get a chance ill post the updates.
