Zero In Range.

[jonnie bravo 572]

25yds for me. Easy to zero at the range, no holdunder needed for.177, minimal for.22 I imagine.

some more from recent practice. The circle looks large because its a close-up photograph, but its actually a drawing around a 5p piece and very small.

Most modern air rifles will do pellet on pellet out to 35-40yds (in .22) and possibly further in ,177.

 

The limitation is not in the gun, its in the shooter. If I strap my gun into a solid rest, zero it, I can put pellet on pellet no problem all day. So the guns are consistent. When I take it out of the rest and shoulder it, the additional variability is all me.....

 

28yds is pellet on pellet no problem (or at least touching pellet groupings). If you cant get groups of around 5p piece at that distance (or smaller groupings) - don't hunt with it, or practice more.

 

Excellent piece of advice.

Shooting Doc .

Just think how tight those groups could get using .177 , and at greater distances if required.

Thanks, yes, AAs - by far the best pellet in all my airguns. Falcon accuracy plus are good in one of them, but not as good as AAs.
