Spring is king👑

The ones that say you need a PCP for accuracy are the ones that CAN'T shoot a springer. When I started shooting there was simply nothing else so it had to be a springer. Started with a BSA Carpet, onto Relum Tornado and was that a culture shock. Then an Airsporter Mk1. There have been many others including PCP's and one or two or three surprisingly good CO2 rifles. PCP only now due to physical disability and age but I recommend everyone learns to shoot a springer. I made all kids and grandkids master them first before I would even consider buying them PCP's. To be fair they still love the simplicity of the springer; the ultimate stand alone airgun.

The cometa is an amazing rifle. I got a pcp and sold it. All the tanks and compressors I hated. Back to weihrauch and cometa for me. Great video!

I'm a Brit in the US and there's a saying about shooting standing up or as they say over here, "offhand" as opposed to those who shoot bench or prone etc. "It's the difference between a rifleman and a man who shoots a rifle". That's some good shootin' there Tex, 😁

Your choice of music for this video is SUPERB! They make that second stage screw smaller because it, inherently, has smaller (more dense) thread rate (slower, yet more precise regulation).

I am watching your video for the first time and I am very impressed,

When youtubers flex how skilled they are in shooting at long ranges you instantly bump them up the credibility list. Respect. 👏👏

Cometa need to be applauded for the quality of gun they have produced

I am with you. I love my hw97kt Springer. With the right pellets, it can keep up with a PCP, regarding accuracy. Obviously it's rate of fire let's it down when it comes to pest control. It is also not exactly quiet, in its operation, compared to a PCP. It is however, a brilliant target rifle and great for hft competitions. Long live springers. Thank you 😊

Been watching for years, first time commenting. Amazing shooting!!! Love the fact that you don’t shoot with a rest, like most other channels. Your channel is definitely a step above. Keep up the great work.

Dan buddy you hit it out the park as normal. That rifle gives me the tingle and makes my wallet cry and the other half🤣 love that muzzle break

That's great shooting Dan, a case of rifle and shooter in perfect harmony. Good stuff👍

Excellent Dan I have been impressed with these for a number of years I know now there is a distributor in Canada I will have to get one. Thanks again

Fantastic shooting and great video you get more confident and articulate every time I watch. The little adjustment on the trigger nicely executed. Well done on the shots.

Very nice shooting mate. I only happened on this video because of your review on the Remington Sabre, but I'm definitely subbed after this fine display of marksmanship 👍🏻

Great review and excellent shooting Dan 👍🏻

Very impressive shooting from a great gun

Bloody incredible shooting Dan! I can’t believe how good that springer is!!! That’s the sort of grouping that I used to get with live rounds (.22) lying down with sling and arm pads on an indoor range. Truly next level.

Wow! That was some fantastic shooting mate. Lovely gun as well. Impressed 🙂

Oh Yeah, Big Dan, that's the way to challenge yourself. Wow. I'm glad you chose the Cometa for this one. You sorted the trigger pretty much exactly as I adjust mine, and it has to be one of the best given the price (I find it somewhat similar to the T06). And the accuracy of those cold hammer forged barrels have nothing more to prove and aren't afraid of anyone. I recently gave my fenix barrel a polish with J.B. bore paste and then Flitz and whoa, it's amazing. I'm blown away, and got so excited that I had to order myself another Fenix, this time in .25. To put it simply, I'm obsessed with Cometa springers. Cheers Sir, and as always thanks for the entertaining videos.

Well done. Great shooting. I still love my Weihrauch HW97

I love springers! Great shooting/video!

Great video and great shooting, just got my first springer a HW99s and love it.

Dan, good video and darn good shooting. Good trigger tune demo. That gun has a lovely looking stock. Would make a great squirrel gun, over there and here in the States.

That’s terrific shooting 👍 and an excellent video. I may have a good PCP but I won’t be parting with my springer, I love it.

Amazing shooting there Dan, you'd put many pcp owners to shame at those distances! And what a cracking looking rifle!! Beautiful

Evening dan good to see you back.have a good weekend

As I've said before, you are the best I've ever seen with a springer. You should be shooting competitvely. Great video.

As you know I've got a few cometas including this model superb rifles, well done Dan

Great shooting Dan, I’m a spring gun man, FWB 124, my favourite, still got all my springers from back in the day 😊

Great video keeping it real bro 👍, I do all my shooting kneeling or free standing, no rest or bipod, makes me concentrate a lot more. Helps to have the zoom set high so I can see how much I am wobbling about 😂

I do all my hunting with sringers and have done for the last 42 years. Far more satisfying than flapping about with all those pcp's with buddy bottles and pumps and diving equipment and god knows what else. What a load of nonsense. My airsporters hw35 hw80 and various Diana springers have never let me down. Great video and nice gun and scope combo.

Mate that was bonkers, absolutely brilliant. Thanks

Great shots dan👍👍👍👍👍

Fantastic video Dan well impressed and yes you are bang on Spring is king. For the price of that gun it's amazing how accurate it is (as we no it can't be you) I shoot both and got to be honest pcp are a bit boring so went back to springer so glad I did if anyone out there won'ts to inprove there shooting then get a springer (we'll impressed Dan) 👍

Lovely video Dan and the only reason you missed that last shot was that it had fallen over and was presenting the edge rather than the full tin! Cometa is going to be my next springer as soon as enough pennies have been squirreled away.

Great video as always baby! ❤

Excellent shooting fella

Love springers always have you just can't beat em.... shoot a hw97kt and hw99 great guns as I prefer Weihrauch. but had others over the years... cracking shooting by the way... 👍👍

Don’t think springers will die out Dan , I meet some die hard springer people , and some are young , 20 to 40 , that don’t own and never shoot pcp, guns , they don’t run out of air , and with abit of hard work input can be stupid accurate, as you and many others no ,cheers shaneweightman

Damn good shooting my friend, damn good.

Good shooting! I'd say that's a pretty accurate springer and thumb up from the U.S. 😊

EXCELLENT VID CHAP GOOD USE OF THE WOOD PILE CAM WAS AWFULLY CLOSE TO TARGET @ 25yrds!! ANYHOO GREAT VID. BRILLIANT SHOOTING FROM THE SHOULDER....HES A NATURAL. I HAVE A HW 98 AND I MUST ADMIT...THAT GUN LOOKS BETTER THAN THE 98, LOVELY STOCK AND SWEET LINES TO IT.. ADJUSTABLE STOCK FOR 330 NOTES!! I WEEP.... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DAN

Nice shooting big man con from Ireland 🇮🇪

I've always preferred springers, you actually feel like you have fired a gun .Fantastic shooting by the way.

Top video and top shooting Dan. I see you are still tempting me with these Cometa's.

I have pcp's but my springers make me smile. Any lack of accuracy with either is my fault. Spiringers are more of a challenge but are just as accurate as a pcp. By the way, awsome shooting.

Nice video.great shooting 👍😉

And you say you can't shoot Ha ha ha Well done Dan great video and I like the way you showed yourself shooting by filming from behind the target. Not many do that so you can't tell if they are cheating or not. Great video really enjoyed it keep them coming and thanks again

Great bit of shooting there Dan👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎

Next to my hw99s love those cometa rifles triggers

Brilliant video m8 .

hello DAN how are you? another nice content from '' BIG DAN'S AIRGUNS'' . love you . may god bless you and your family .keep it up, bro.

Nice shooting!!!

Today I was shooting at a pizza box 100 yards away and was hitting it with most shots using a milbro sportsman in .177. It was pretty windy too.

After the first test i went and bought one a great rifle and great video so big silver screw that takes up slack in the first stage and the little black screw is to take up on the trigger final stage i will do that tomorrow take care Dan and you can shoot to 100yards great shooting

I jus knew there was more potential for accuracy in my rifle, which is the Cometa Fusion Premier Star, and in .177 cal. same as the one shown here. Thanks for this Dan. Now, I think I may just be able to adjust this one's trigger too.

Great video Dan. One day the planets aligned, the gods smiled upon me and I managed to hit a tin can with a .22 HW45 at 40 yards 8 out of 10 times 😅 Great things are possible with spring guns!

Oh my god @25 yds ,I couldn't do that even if I had the best gear in the world hahah well done fantastic

Nice one, I like springers too.

Cracking shooting Dan, love my cometa compact star, had to use that warranty the spring broke. Sent back fully repaired, no charge. ASI seem to be spot on. These are a much under appreciated gun. Thanks to your reviews I bought the Zbroia Kozak & the Cometa compact star & my Reximex Mito. Love shooting them all, but if I could only keep one, it would be the Cometa. Just wish I could shoot like you. Can you please stop doing you're reviews, as they are costing me a fortune 😂. Thanks again for reviewing affordable equipment for normal people to enjoy.

Quality Springer shooting,best I can do with my hw98 is hit paintballs or 1p pieces at 25yds, after that things get a bit untidy, I know it's my age- but some days I wobble like a party jelly.( Only bought the 98 ' cos I was getting bored with the PCP

Oh Dan oh Dan, some of the things you say in this could be turned in to something else 😂 but as always great video bud, need a meet up soon been a wile

I just got a hw97 and I love shooting that more then my bsa r12

This is some impressive shooting and an impressive rifle but rumour has it there was 2 guys on a grassy knoll that actually took the 3 shots 😉

Got rid of my Webley and HW35 springers and replaced them with 2 new tuned .177 and .22 BSA R10's but every time I go in my local shop I am itching to purchase another springer in ,177 so maybe I will have a look at these Cometa springers. Tried the BSA springer range but hell they were rough, cocking them all you hear is the spring grating inside the spring hosing, quickly handed them back my local gunshop assistant even he agreed I had made the right choice to dismiss BSA Springers.

Nice shooting Dan! You need to do a 100 yard challenge with the .25👍

Good skills 👍

Nice bit of shooting Dan. That's better than my R10 pcp.😢

It's all a matter of finding the best suited grouping pellets for the particular rifle and a decent scope. A harmonic barrel tuner can also help tighten groups.

Many years ago I had a HW 77. Got a shock first time I chronod it. In those days chronos were very expensive and not many people had them. Anyway 14 ft/lb with Bisley magnums. Had to calm it down.

Wow awesome shooting, any tips on having a stable hold on your gun when shooting?

2 out of 3 at just over 100 yards, damn good shooting. And to be fair that 3rd tin was basically a side shot.

Great review as always bud just as gud as my fusion star I bought off u pal, keep punching that paper my friend, Jus, TT-UK 👍

That was cool...

Wow, makes my 53 yard shooting look pathetic with my HW97K .22 blue laminate. I'm using anything as a rest as I shake and quiver. Nice shooting! I'm not a good shooter at all, amazed at what a quality springer can accomplish with my bad technique.

Great gun, great tune and trigger and an even greater shooter! What's that spring guide your talking about?

Great video ...sadly if they include air rifle pellets in the lead ammunition ban ....we're buggered, I use my HW95K .177 ( RWS Superdome ) for pest control Out to 45 yards and target shooting out to 75+ yards .... and there's currently no lead free option that's acceptable for either pest conttol or target work

Good shooting Dan, well done. My turn ,gulp!.

Hi again , I am impressed with your shooting abilities my friend! What really upsets me that the Canadian government will not allow ANY Air rifle that fires above 500 ft per sec , without a firearms certificate! !! What they are afraid of is beyond me , when England allows you to shoot faster air guns? Also , we are forbidden to use modifiers, WHY ? I suppose because the people in charge would prefer to hear the bullets when they come for them ! LOL Such a joke but I guess we can blame Al Capone movies for that, as the generation in charge would all have watched the movies I,m sure ! And considering all the wide open spaces we have it is beyond understanding ! Gun control has come beyond our wildest dreams ! Yet the killing keeps going in and near the larger cities as the criminals do not need to register their firearms ! If it wasn't so ludicrous a person could laugh BUT it isn't and with the government is power now , it has them all in a panic ! But enough of my rant and I say I enjoyed your site a whole bunch !

Super Shooting

You should really get your arse to MAD hft club in Maldon. I have admittedly a few years ago had second places in UK hft comps equal 7th in the world recoiling champs and you are twice as good as me for sure. Give it a go you are far better than you think especially at standing shots!.

No way could I hit the broad side of a barn door off hand especially with a sub-12 springer😂 It would be a waste of good pellets. FAC in .22 or .25 from a bench yeah but not off hand. Even in FAC I wouldn’t try it in .177 unless it were heavier slugs. The weight of that .177 pellet gets pushed so easily by the wind I would think it is more luck and guess work for me. 🤦 Glad to see you have a pair and gave it a go.👍 Thanks for the video get away. Stay blessed. Happy Easter from SW Pennsylvania USA. BTW really nice shooting bud.💯

Wow. Just Wow

Wow i got to take me hat off to you mate, thats some cracking shooting, i dont mean any disrespect to any one, but there are some i no that would really struggle to shoot that distance with a Pcp, accurately, well done mate Cheers 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍

I love springers as well I don’t own a pcp just an HW95 and a TX200

Awesome shooting!! Is that springer completely standard out the box Dan? I’m looking at their LAM 400 version after seeing your video! Well done 👏🏼

*Springer power!* _Id like a pcp one day tho 😁_

I had an Evanix Blizzard and it was stupid accurate, I got bored with the PCP because it was just too easy, there was no challenge anymore. I sold my Hatsan, Webley and Evanix PCP's and went back to springers. I dont have the problem of logging Dive Bottles and Compressors around. I have only my Break Barrel and Pellets and I am as happy as a kid again. Doing crazy accurate shooting at 53 years old. 20m I put pellet in pellet standing free hand. I was never keen on fat ass sitting behind a huge scope on a special table shooting. There is no accomplishment in it Field Target Shooting standing just lift up and shoot that is where the fun starts and the PCP boys get separated from the real marksman. It is not what you shoot with it is about can you shoot.

Hey Dan 'thought you said you couldn't shoot!!🤣

I don't think they will go any where , a pcp is nice and easy , but they are a pain if you want hourse of fun with out a pesky pump or dive bottle. I uave both pcp and spring and I enjoy both each have good n bad

Sorry for the Late one mate at work .. enjoyed the Video .Nothing on at 1am 👍🏻👍🏻Don't they Normally give a Gnome a fishing rod Not a .177 a Rifle 😂😂😂

I've only ever had springers so find all this quite normal but I only ever use iron sights so 100 yards is a bit tricky

Great shooting 👍 I,m a springer guy and it's possible to shoot PCP like groups with a quality springer. There are not many who can shoot accurate freestanding. I think it's a must to master that if you're an airgun hunter. Nice rifle! Cheers.

Good bloke

Did you do that with a .177 or .22? ( either way, great shooting !)

Hi Dan just a quick question for you buddy ....I'm just getting into the hobby and was going to go co2 but I've decided against it and to go get a remington sabre ...my question is what cal do I get lol ...I'm caught in the middle of the 177 vs 22 debate ideally I want the longer range capability and accuracy but also power if possible what's your take on this ? And can you help a brother out please ?

For me there's just something about single shot an I think it makes you focus a bit harder too.

A f*"'"*g good group that Dan , you should be proud! I've been keeping my finger on the pulse of the air riffle world for a couple of years now itching to get my own gun ! I was kinda think BSA then seen the Remington sabre do some pretty good stuff but I have been sold on the cometta fusion for a while just need someone local to sell one! Thanks for another great vid Dan !did you ever try the retay? They look like a lot of gun for the money! Good or bad?

Es una Cometa! Una carabina espringuer Española de muchísima calidad!! Qué es 4.5 Ho 5.5 de calibre
