Re: air gun accuracy
20 yards is probably too much of a distance for a beginner AR. Try 10 m.
Cheers!

Re: air gun accuracy
Your expectation of accuracy does not solely depend on the AR - Your own skill to shoot straight should also be taken into accountsam 47 wrote:what type of accuracy can i expect form a gd 600 air rifle. i can hit a 1.5" circle 2 out of 5 times at 20 yards.

Re: air gun accuracy
As mentioned above by members, accuracy will depend on a persons capability to shoot.
However to find out how well the gun shoots, try to rest it and replicate the same shooting conditions as far as possible while shooting at whatever maximum range is desired. This should give a fair idea about the accuracy.
That said, for indian break barrels the maximum range while being accurate is about 20 to 30yards. Beer can sized targets are easy up to 50 yards. This has been my experience with the precihole break barrel atleast.
