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

you may wanna give them some Bovril (& a coat!

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
