Lou, that is a terrific feat! At 50 meters, I couldn't SEE it, much less shoot it!
Certainly destroys the myth that air pistols are strictly for close range!

The card shown was hit with a 22 Air Arms field diablo, I will post another pic where I used a 177 "hollow point". The difference is interesting. The curve of the trajectory is different and the cut of the 177 is neater.
Its amazing what you can do with a gun. Ed McGivern is my hero!

certainly an impressive feat, what are the general rules for distance pistol shooting, rested, 1 ore 2 handed etc?

Excellent. I have a Rohm which performs well at longer ranges (.177 RWS Geco/Bisley Practice). Just posted a thread on General Airgun forum asking question re tweaking power output. Bloke who owns/runs the range where I shoot is a champion pistol shooter and reckons pistol shooting is the most demanding. More chance for human error which is why I said Rohm performs well and not me!

Try a quality dome head pellet for ranges in excess of 10-15 yards. I found that flat heads were fine at close quarters through my Rohm but groups suffered in comparison the more you pushed the distance.Originally Posted by TURIN TURAMBAR
