Slngshot,
That is a good group for unsupported offhand shooting!
Congratulations!
What kind of sights does your air rifle have?

Sunday Shooting at the range was really good. I continue to be surprised by the Weihrauch HW30S. A spring powered, little air rifle that is really sweet. I am attaching the two best groups. I was shooting, standing, at 10 meters. I am using the stock metal front sight and a Williams peep sight.

Brilliant shooting. I get such groups from 10 centimeters distance.
