Guest danewguy Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 I am sure that this has been asked before but I was wondering what the approximate distance I could shoot and still have enough energy to ethically take the shot? I am shooting an Encore with two 50 grn. T7 pellets and a 295 grn Powerbelt Aero. I am asking this since I do not have a chrono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Re: Distance I can ethically shoot Energy wise, you are good to 175 yards. After that, the levels drop below 750 ft-lbs. The trajectory gets critical at that point also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husker Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Re: Distance I can ethically shoot in nebraska we cannot use scopes with any magnification so we have to use open sights 1 power scopes or red dots. 100 yards can be a long way with no magnification. that is about the limit of what i would shoot at. i also use 2 pellets of 777 and 295 grain power belts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robk Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Re: Distance I can ethically shoot i know i can shoot out to 150 with my gun but i prefer the 100 yards or inside 100 yards is the best way for me and i am really happy with how my gun shoots. the closer the better but if i need it i know i am good to 150 yards give or take 5 yards rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
