General Comments
I have had a Webley Patriot for quite some time now and have found it to be very accurate and quite a satisfying shooting experience. Don't expect very good accuracy until 500 to 1000 rounds are put through it. Always check the tightness of all fasteners before shooting. I have also found that a thoroughly clean bore is essential for any degree of accuracy. As for the recoil, it is more that most air fifles, but come on it's not as bad as a rimfire. Are the people in these reviews adults or kids? Also, it seems that some people just cannot master the correct technique required to shoot springers (correct hold, follow though, trigger control, letting the gun float and holding it very lightly, letting it jump and vibrate). These peaple would happier with a PCP.

I like the freedom of being able to power the hunting weapon myself and the challenge aquiring the necessary skills reqired to shoot magnum springers.
