At what distance can you shoot consistently

Post by fantumfan2003 » Thu Feb 12, 2009 2:06 pm

This is for all air rifle shooters.

With open sights at what distance can you shoot consistently ? whats the size of the target you shoot ? Is the shooting position prone or sitting or standing ?
The data is required to see if the FT distance of 55 yards or 45 yards in HFT can be maintained for open sight or does it need to be reduced to half or two thirds.

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

Iron sights ten meters with rifle can put all five pellets in the same hole only with my rifle :)
Beyond that have shot well till 30m with scope. Can hit the c on the coke can regularly offhand. But the performance always differs on whether I have been shooting atleast ten pellets four or three days a week. These last two weeks have been zero practise. :mrgreen:
