Beeman HW70

303Lithgow · 01-26-2012, 02:27 PM

I received the Beeman pistol I bought from TGR and shot it within a few minutes of arrival. Great pistol and easy to operate. The trigger is great! Love that plink when it hits a tin can.

Remember HW70 is a spring gun which has a recoil , so grip and follow threw is very important . Pellet guns are like flint muzzle loader , most people move the gun before the pellet has left the barrel . If you can master a pellet gun it will make you a super pistol shooter .

Now you tell me.

Just kidding, I was able to hit a small windmill trail 50 feet away every time. I have Official Beeman Targets but for now I'm just plinking. The pistol has a nice balance and feels comfortable in my hand.

I need to buy more pellets. I have a hundred or so wadcutters but was thinking of some heavier pointed pellets.

Buy Beeman or Daisy pellet they are as good as the high dollar ones . I shoot the wadcutter 90% of the time . Stay away from the Chinese pellets they leadup the gun and not sized evenly . I NEVER put a clean rod in a pellet gun . I use a snake every 5,000 rounds , but I use kotex type pellets you shoot in gun for cleaning when I put the gun away . There is 2 types of oil for pellet guns , one oil is for air gun and the other one is for spring guns .

When you get good with your HW70 and you want to step up to one of the best target gun in the world . I will sell my Izzy , which is a single stroke gun for $300 . .

I've never heard them called Kotex Pellets before but I know what you are talking about. Thats the only cleaning I've ever done to the P1.

Here's your pistol with its new friend.

I've never shot a the P1 , I thought it was the next step above the HW70 in the Beeman line . Why did you get the HW70 ????

The are completely differant. The P1 is more expensive and has the balance of a 1911 even though the slide is much bigger. I wanted a separate pistol so when I'm shooting air my wife has something to shoot. The P1 shoots at 300 fps at half-cock and 600 fps at full. What does the HW70 shoot at?

HW70 is around 440 fps .......... most 10 meter paper target guns are around 500 fps .

My P1 is one of the most accurate pistols I have. The P1 and 22/45 are both very accurate. I suspect the HW70 will be in that catagory.
