As I await the arrival of my new P-Rod I have been reading and watching and in fact have been doing so for months. I stumbled onto another forum where all it was was "hopped-up" for lack of a better word P-rods. I just read a post from a member here who said "think about what you want to do, but also consider what you MIGHT do with it" here and felt uneasy I made the wrong purchase.
I shoot a rather basic springer at the moment and this will be my first PCP. I mainly just want to shoot the exposed shells at low tide, but like most we all have a variation of some form of small game pest. Ours is the crows that bully the eagle nests and even our dogs with the occasional squirls in the bird feeders.
Now I know this gun is more than capable when it comes to "taking out" shells on the beach, but what about small game? I was under the assumption I could confidently dispatch small game without having to do anything other than loading my pellets and making sure my scope is sighted.
As much as I'd like to be able to tinker, I'm just not that guy. My dad was a banker and fixing things wasn't ever high on his "list of things to do". I guess what I am asking is, is my P-Rod capable carrying the FPE as I thought I understood it to do what I need out to 30yds?
this other forum they all seem to mention its a very low power gun and tuning them up for hunting by adding what seems like parts that aren't even available anymore. Maybe I'm just worrying about nothing?
Thanks in advance team.
