45 Yards with a Springer

[vasbyt]

Out on the range this morning with my Air Arms TX200 .177 Under lever

Bit of a crosswind (range flag was flapping and almost straight)

A couple of targets at 25 yards to start with and tested a couple of different pellet brands and settled on JSB Exacts.

Set the target at 45 yards (my scope is sighted in at 30 yards) so I went up 1mil dot, a bit of wind compensation and gave it a go.

Not to bad all in all

i think with more practice ,you will close those groups up to half an inch.

Nice shooting !!! specially for a springer

creditable indeed at 45 metres, on a breeze free day that'll tighten up more.

.22 at 50 meters open sights (no scope) hoping to slowly improve

that is the best shooting ive ever seen from any person with any gun without a scope.

I learn't to shoot in Southern Africa, never had a scope on any rifle I used at the time, which consisted of .22 Remington Nylon 66, P14 .303, FN 7.62 NATO (SLR in the UK) and a 9.3 x 62, there were other rifles but these were my staple diet, I have only started using air rifles in the last 14 months or so, and they are great fun

tbh. at 50m I wouldent be able to see where the pellet hit without a scope.

I have the same problem, but once sighted in I trust the rifle, and aim , feels pretty damn good once you see that ragged hole starting to appear

I never realised tx's came with open sights. Are they a factory option or were yours retro fitted?
