For 10m pistol, offhand, Gecos will be fine until your average is over 90 or so
An arthritic shooting buddy uses them in his Steyr and regularly puts a few in the 10. He does a lot of flyers too, but that's not the fault of the gun or the pellets
If you ever decide to try Hobbys, you will need to size them to get consistency, as the skirts are very large.

QUOTE=DazzH;4359068]Single handed pistol shooting is tricky to master, try the below a few times a day.
Read a book while holding a small bag of suger to the sideout stretched at 90 degress to your body, only put the bag down while you change page, this will strengthen the areas required to shoot target pistol.
Hold the pistol as if you were going to fire it, turn your wrist as far as you can clockwise (right handed shooter) take note how your elbow pit turns clockwise as well, now just turn your wrist back (not elbow) anti-clockwise until the pistol is upright again, keeping your elbow turned clockwise (hard to explain). You should notice how steady your aim is now, this is because your elbow has been locked out.
Good luck and keep practising.[/QUOTE]

and many, many bows and slingshots
I've just got my FWB65 back after a service and reseal. I bought this pistol a few months ago, but only put a few shots through it before sending it off, so today's groups are the first significant bit of shooting I've done with it.
FWB65 target here, TAU 7 target from post #1 here. One handed, six metres.
Not great at all, but better than those with the TAU 7. This is no reflection on the TAU; I know it is more accurate than I will ever be, but I found the FWB much easier to hold on target and I seemed less prone to snatch at the trigger or flinch when releasing the shot. Best group with the TAU was 50mm, average 57mm. Best group with the FWB was 36mm, average 40mm. I lost concentration shooting the last group.
This has boosted my confidence a lot. The FWB is grouping slightly to the left. Adjusting the sights is the obvious solution, but I worry that this grouping might be down to poor technique. I find the trigger a little near to the grip, so maybe my finger isn't placed properly.
My aim is to be able to hold the black when I come to shoot at 10 metres. Based on the advice you gentlemen have given me, I will:
Stick with one pistol (the FWB65)
Practice at least weekly
Practice sight watching
Check my trigger finger positioning
Practice on scaled down (6 metre) pistol targets rather than cards of five
