Without wishing to sound like a c.u.n.t

 

I think you are in need of a bit of instruction on how to shoot!

 

Please don't take offence!!,

I have a feeling I know what your doing incorrectly!

 

Are you a former springer shooter?

I'd like to hear what you think it is piano an, I can hit a 5p piece at 30 yards with my s200 but I don't call myself a very good shot and could always use instruction:), unfortunately over here there aint many air rifle instructors, I'm a bit lonely

Not very experienced shooter myself but when I need to zero my scope I strap my HW77 to something solid that won't move, take a couple of shots to make sure it's not moving and the pellets are all going in the same place, if like me your not into sorting your pellets then you get the odd flyer, once your happy with that then adjust the scope to suit. Distance is about 40 foot, once your used to your rifle and the pellet trajectory you'll know when to aim that bit higher or hold under.

That's my ten penneth worth for what it's worth, I sure others will say i'm talking crap and it's different for springers and pcp's but that's how I do it and it works for me

Seriously?

 

A springer needs to move,

A springer (to produce consistant results) needs to obay the laws of physics.

When you release the sear, the spring moves the piston forward and according to the laws pf physics the spring also shoves the stock etc... rearwards. (Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction).

Not only that, but.....

 

If a spring is coiled to the left, the rifle will uncoil to the right and, vise-versa when fired.

 

A springer is by its very mechanical nature (laws of physics) very 'HOLD DEPENDANT'.

 

So a springer needs to move forward and backwards as well as left/right.

 

People who zero a spinger standing, need to adjust POINT OF AIM to achieve POINT OF IMPACT if they are kneeling or prone.

 

If you bolt down a springer, so that it can not move freely when fired it will produce consistant results

BUT if you try shooting that same rig, free standing, or prone or indeed kneeling you aint gonna hit jack sh!t, let alone hit the same spot twice!

I think you would get much better results if you didnt fix the rifle down mate.

 

A springer seriously needs to be able to recoil freely for accuracy.
