    As an old time surveyor and i know this is not strictly airgun but, did you use a surveyors chain, metal tape, liinen tape, tellurometer or GPS - what degree of accuracy do the measurements have.

    A couple of other questions

    1. Doesnt your wife object to you shooting from the living room?

    2. You're not shooting across the road are you?
    3. Is it the same wall - only the backgrounds look a little different?

    Oh and one of your pictures has 130yds on it - is this a typing slip?
    ??...What a ridiculous question.....The road has gone as they have built a primary school there!

    Why do people come out with this utter tosh??....Or is this now gary hot lips!??

    Oops - sorry - no offense intended

    I dont know much about airpower but have been very surprised at the strength and accuracy that seem to be achievable.

    I am impressed

    No problem, at least you see what i mean, sometimes (read as a lot!) people come on here and just look for the slightest thing to knock...even if it isn't there! (seems you aren't one of them..)
    I don't doubt that there are some people that are not quite as good as their imagination convinces them they are.......But very few are outright liars! IMO.

    There are some who put a lot of time and effort into their LR Target, they don't get many decent days to practice their passion and rightly get upset when their claims are constantly dismissed, just because you (read as ME) cant do it, doesn't mean it can't be done.

    The rules are of markmanship aresimple 5% of shooters are serious & will achieve there goal,5% are practising & 90% are still dragging knuckles...knowing nothing but pointing a barrel & missing the target, or wounding a mamal.

    I remember trying 100yrd targets at the gun club with my logun axsor .177 The hold over was crazy, well off the target but did managed 4-5" inch group. So with your gear and a very still day it's possible!
