DOUBLE TROUBLE, OR DOUBLE FUN?
S o how much is too much power for an airgun? Do you need 50 foot pounds and upwards? Why not just 12 foot pounds and be done with it? And what about both perhaps?
Well I’m lucky. I have the new Daystate Red Wolf HP (High Power) in .22, and boy does that pack a punch. But running that much power does have its downsides – do you ever get through some air. More hot air than listening to me talking about my HFT skills!
I can get a healthy 60 shots running 50 foot pounds using JSB 33.95 grain pellets, and that’s good. I could of course turn it down to one of its lower settings, but who would ever do that? It’s like having a Ferrari and driving it with the handbrake on! It’s never going to happen.
