    Probly work well but I enjoy learning thier movements, stalking them in the fields at night, picking them off around edges during the day.
 Its a slow constant constant pressure. 
 I've thought about getting the 22lr out but it's honestly just not as enjoyable. To easy really. 

 I've been keeping the arc of the pellets in mildot drop or gain as ive been doing this. 
 The pellets take differnt flight paths. 
 All targets were set to level with a lazer level. Shots were fewer but taken with more care and stopped when two touched each other. Most shots taken at any distance 3. (first 2 touched each other out to 30m then 35m and 40m required a third shot for both brands.) 

 Sorry cut top of pic. AA field deablo on left, jsb exact heavy on right

	Why don't you try baiting the hares, leave out vege scaps bits of fruit over a period of time and draw them into you, might work.

	Thanks. I'm hoping to get 50m inch groups constantly, but haven't got there yet. Hares are wising up and not letting me get as close in open paddock.

	Both pellets are showing good results. The JSBs show less separation across your groups that the AA so if it was me I would go with the JSBs. Those are great groups at 40yards by the way

	70! Friggin awsome. That's inspiration for me. I hope I'm still active shooting when I reach that age. Which is closer than I like. So redid 40m groups this morning with weighed pellets. The group sizes arnt that much differnt but the patterning is. I'm really undecided what to sight in with. I'm leaning towards exact but reality is they would both have same amount of kill shots. The air arms pellet if its like the 22's is going to have a reasonable amount of head size change which may affect it. (done no sizing) Be keen on a few other ppls input on grouping and what they think from looking at these targets. I have a thick skin so any ribbing all good.

	Hi Mercs, Zero Tech are airgun rated, lifetime warranty, the guy I purchased the second Sig from broke a Zero Tech Thrive on the Sig, it was replaced without question, it had survived 1500 pellets. On their website there is an article where they test one on a Hatsan I like the Vengeance, I use the elevation turret to dial in my distances. I need a duplex reticule, I'm 70 and my eyes can't cope with mildot reticules.

	Nice stuff Kruza, I picked up a tin of JSB Exact 8.44 grain 4.51mm this evening and run 50 through the barrel. Touch lighter than my normal choice but had consistent vertical control, quite windy so some correction required. i look forward to getting at the targets when weather clears. Hi Ralph I am very interested in how you find the ZeroTech Vengance 3-12x40 and how many pellets they have survived? cheers

	That's an awsome group for sure. I'd be stoked with that! I'm rather impressed with it so far. Still think the biggest issue with grouping is me Shot a couple of groups at 40m and the exact are grouping well. Would have put most shots into a hares head. The AA is shooting slightly bigger groups but it tends to shoot them in smaller clusters, spread apart but nearly hole in hole in each cluster. I've weighed out 50 of each, to tin weight. Took 65 odd to get 50 exact Took 83 odd to get 50 aa I suspect the AA are throwing off due to varying pellet weight. (something I found in 22) I must admit that since I went to finger tips, I've changed grip again and don't think it was as hold sensitive as I thought. If anyone has been on fence about buying a sig, don't be. Im more than happy I Swapped it for the tx. They both awsome guns, but this suits me better as a hunting gun.

	My 2 Sigs, identical twins, both wearing Zero Tech Vengeance 3-12x40 scopes. Both shoot well with 10.34 JSBs. Neither are hold sensitive and I don't think about how I am holding the rifle when out shooting pests. Pic of target is shot at 20m with JSBs, 5 shots, it is the only pic I have of a target shot with the Sig, I usually discard the targets after I have shot them Will be selling 1 of the Sigs as I have just purchased a TX200 MK3
