Been doing some reading

My shooting has been a bit frustrating so I put the gun away for a month and bought myself an air rifle hunting book to read at work. I've picked up quite a few bits of useful information including the distance the writer is zeroing at and distances being hunted at and it seems I zeroed far too far out ! I was zeroed at 35 meters which was right at the top of the turret travel. I was also missing a lot of easy shots so I've spent a couple of hours re-zeroing at 30yrds and then checking what hold over and under I need to use at 5yrd intervals from 15yrds out to 40yrds and was amazed at what a cock up I'd made of my first set up
I'm now finding that the aim points for 15 to 30yrds are almost the same and I need a lot more practice for 35yrds and at the moment 40yrds is a definite no no !! So it just goes to prove a bit extra research and some patients in a cold wet and windy field can pay dividends

If you are near the end of turret adjustment you may find it beneficial to shim up the rear scope mount.

well for starts, if you`re putting your patients in a cold wet & windy field you may wanna give them some Bovril (& a coat! )
you`ve completely backed my own set up- zero`d at 25m, will shoot out to 30 on a (very) good day but, 25 or less works for me, scope or not!

Lmao I knew that was the wrong spelling for the patience but couldn't think of the right one As for shimming up the rear mount it's not happening I've changed from meters to yards and have got a 10 shot group as tight as a bunnies butt hole between 15 and 30 yards so I'm not changing anything now but thanks for the input

Correct, but considering the context, it is correct; they are similar sounding words with different meanings:-

patient...someone receiving medical treatment.
patience...tolerance.
