Hi guys and gals here is 2 pictures of my night shoot from 8pm till 10pm tonight 15/06/2015 of 2 rabbits i ended up bagging just got rifle back from repair. So reset my scope upto 40 to 50 yards i bagged these 2 up at 39 and 46 yards 2 clean kills. Expired from single shots, one from a single shot to the brain which was a frontal shot from under the right eye to the brain. The 2nd was a side shot from behind the front leg straight to the heart 1 shot clean, pretty stoked has this is the first proper shoot with my 2nd hand Air Arms S200 since i bought it, has it had a cycling issue but sorted now.

2 Rabbit Shoot

2 Clean kills
Nice clean shoot i love this rifle but still learning about pcp's so if anyone can tell me on my stirrup pump mine goes upto 6000psi, to pump my AA S200 it takes 190 bar to fill so on my pump would that be the first 2 red marks from the zero, newbie question i know but i just want to make sure, so i do not blow the seals on my rifle.

Take it to 2600 psi
Any more and you will cut your power or do some damage.

Thanks for the reply but if i take it upto 2600 psi on my air arms s200 the top fill pressure is 190 bar so that is the equivalent to this 2 755.71702 in psi but i think 2600 would be the safest bet so thankyou, so on my gauge mine is 6000 psi on the outside markings it needs to be about halfway between 2000 and 3000 then, i am new to pcp's so when i attach my quick release to my rifle i leave the cocking bolt open on the rifle open the copper bleed valve slightly to release pressure then close and pump to desired 2600 psi open bleed valve slightly to release pressure again tighten back up then take of quick release to take connection off rifle then job done, is that correct or am i wrong in the fill process please let me know thx has i only filled it to the first 2 red marks which i thought was 190 bar but in fact then is 190 psi not 2600 psi so could you please tell me the correct process on how to connect and fill with my stirrup pump has when i have tried it has been really hard to pump.

A S200 will have a sweet spot about 170 bar. If you fill above that you are going to get lower out put shots and so wasting air.
Using a pump is the same the same procedure. Attach air connector,turn bleed screw to lock up, slowly fill to 170 bar and stop, bleed air and remove connector.
With a pump you will find its easy until you equal the cylinder pressure then it gets harder.

So if i fill to 170 bar that is the sweet spot but how many shots do you get out of it i have noticed out of my fills i have been getting around 50 to 60 shots to A 190 bar fill which i think is about right but i am new to the pcp that is only what i have read how about yourself. Thanks for the reply sorry i have only answered now.

60 shots is good...how many rabbits can you carry
