Kosta i believed that you are from Cyprus ! I am glad that you are from north Greece. Yes Xanthi its a beautiful place for living,but i am now in village four kilometers from the town with my own place for shooting. I have left the crowd for the four last years. With sniperman we are frieds and we are members of www.aerovolo.gr and you are wellcome to our forum. Patriotaki shoot well and far. Xristos.

Xristos my Father is from cyprus and my mother form the island paros, I am not from northern greece my friend is , he is from xanthi.

I read fast the message and i make a mistake about Xalkithiki ! Have you FAC air rifle for long range shooting Kostas ? Xristos.

The good weather gave me a chance to have some long range shooting.
This is a group at 120 meters.

I thought it would be fun to do some long range plinking
and tried to make a video(my first one )
here it is

my comments were 1st: Wind.... did the "job"
2: like half ft/lb
I was surprised the pellet didn't penetrate the spray cylinder
according to ballistic software it should have like 7 ft/lb on that range.
(Though it seems like its a strong cylinder )

100 meters again. Windy.
The point of aim is the shot with arrow, no drift correction, zero at 50 meters, correction at elevation.

Both groups with the same point of aim to see the drop difference.
The upper group is with the jsb heavies and the bottom with the barracuda.
Both types had almost the same drift even though the barracuda are heavier.
Also the barracuda had bigger horizontal spread
also at 50 meters, barracuda's did that.

I thing it can do better, but i only had time for 6 shoots in a row with low wind
I used the jsb jumbo heavy

Hello Sniperman,

I think the Steyr is very capable of good 100m results. Although an Air Arms S4/500 regulated or Theoben Rapid MKII might be better. This is what I tested recently with my Steyr (and JSB 5,52mm):
