Hi Gents, Thank you all for your replies. atb Frank

Good Morning All, I am in the process of introducing my 14 year old grandson to rifle shooting. He has fired (for the first time), using an FAC pcp air rifle belonging to a friend of mine under strict supervision by both of us needless to say, on paper targets. I must I was pleasantly surprised to see his 5 shot groups shrink to around an inch at 50 yards after a few targets were shot...............that for a beginner is pretty good but I guess a lot of you seasoned shots on here would be doing just a ragged hole at that distance.......something, pardon the pun, for him to aim for.
