hi theairgunsniper

try adjusting the rear sight also keep an eye on the fore sight.

its a step at a time job: in most airrifles the rear sight moves form left to right. not up or down.
so if you are hitting far left then adjust rear sight to right until you are hitting near center.


if you are going hi/low then most likely its the front sight which should be set to low if hitting hi. depending what kind of front sight you have, the adjustment may very however in most cases its normally up or down with the front sight blade.

(also check what type of ground your are on ie uphill or down hill)

look for a locking screw if it has one, then loosen it, and lower the sight blade down and test fire to see the result.

with some sights you can adjust by moving one or two turn if you have the right info. or else trail and error method is employed.

lets know how you get on.

dear theairgunsniper,
what nagarifle has suggested is perfectly all right since i have the same experience with my old Tommy 35,with lot of effort and advice from Tirths i could bring down the grouping to 4" at 15mtrs,all i need now to get the barrel checked by a real expert shooter so as to know that is okey or not.As Tirths opines, otherwise all effort would be searching niddle in a hay heap.
