Thanks for your kind comments, chaps, but I don't class myself as a particularly good shot these days and credit is more due to Messrs. Weihrauch, RWS and Lady Luck.

If some of the top springer shooters like Herx77 and The Pie Man got involved then I think we'd see groups like the ones photographed above on a regular basis.

Anyway, I had another attempt yesterday evening because the wind had died down, and went for ten shots rather than five. The group was 40mm c-t-c. The light was fading but I then put another ten shots onto the same target and only three fell within the first group, the rest being in a 130mm vertical string (30mm wide), which I put down to not being able to see the aiming mark and putting the cross hairs in the wrong place.
