Hi .
After a couple of hours target shooting and checking my zero this afternoon the farmer came over and had a couple of shots at around 40 meters but couldn't understand why he had to aim low to hit the POA . I explained the rifle was zeroed at 50 meters and 10 meters and holding under was necessary for all the ranges Inbetween . He then asked how far my rifle would shoot accurately and I said I didn't have a clue beyond 50 meters so he walked off then picked the target up and walked out even further. When he got back he said the target was at 80 yards and I pinged it at 81 . As you will see from the pics I guessed the hold over and took my first shot then calculated the windage and the actual hold over from there . I ended up aiming 3.5 mildot over and 3.0 mildot to the left and was surprised how well the rifle grouped at that range and also how much penetration the pellets still got on the MDF back board .I am not in any way promoting hunting at such ranges but was wondering if anyone else had fired at extreme range just for fun and what results they got from their rifle . I looked on YouTube but the videos I watched were made by FAC shooters . I was firing a AA S410 classic in .177 using JSB Exact Diabolo @ 8.44gr and 11.6 ft lbs from a prone position . The target was a 1" dia sticker with a 6mm POA .Thanks for your time. Atb Ricky
