My step dad and i have just been playing with my Makarov and HW45 in the garden. The marsh out the back of his house has plenty of puddles and we've been using them for plinking practice. The one I used to zero the 45 is around 4" across and about 32 yards away, I was getting every shot in the "splash-zone" on full so I thought I'd play with the lower power setting.

Every shot went clear over the top and landed an easy 10ft further on!? the pellets hit with less force, so it had us scratching our heads for a while. I reckon its just the lower recoil doesn't pull the front of the pistol down as far or hard making the pellet strike higher up.

Anyone else found this?

(Once we found the right aim point, the Mak puts around 80% of its shots in the same puddle!)
