    are you used to shooting with open sights or is the tru glo the first time. if you are used to open sights are your results good with normal open sights. i shoot truglo front with peep sight rear and they are very accurate.

    i've dabbled with opens in the past but never been confident enough with my accuracy to have a go at shooting live quarry ie rats. i cant see me ever being good enough to try at longer ranges say for rabbits but at the moment its just a bit of fun come challenge just getting group size down.

    How are you setting the sights in relation to the target? I have mine set to hold at the bottom of the 1" target to hit bull

    I had similar results to you using the try glow sights on my old 900x thought they were rubbish but the ones on my hatsan 55 are really good much smaller and more precise easy 10mm groups at 12 yards .

    Same company same roughly same age rifle s must be about the same effort to produce small accurate as big clumsy.

    How far apart are the front and rear sights? If close together on a short base, accuracy will be limited.
