You should visit with the UBC at a shoot,
you'd get loads of ideas, not all of them easy on the wallet

For paper punching I still don't think you can beat conventional iron sights.
I can't get on with the tube red dots on pistols but lots of shooters do, mine are for rifles & carbines, the holographic or collimator red dots suit me as they don't mask as much vision,
Red dots are ideal for variable sized and/or variable distance targets, you will need to try sights to see what suits you, you won't know until you try them,

You can see a cheap ZOS red dot sight fitted to my Brocock Aim-X here:

I plink therefore I amWeihrauch HW100S Air Arms S400 GinB Feinwerkbau C60 Weihrauch HW77K Steyr LP10 Feinwerkbau C55 Brocock Aim-X Gamo Compact Weihrauch HW40 Click here to see my collection
The 7th photo down, showing the view of the red dot sight from the shooters perspective, shows the little circle where the reticle appears. On the JSR one with "Dontop" printed on the side which I bought, that's exactly where mine stayed, the bottom half of the reticle being obscured by the prism housing.

I bought the holographic sight from jsr,seems ok ,i zeroed it for 10 meters target bulls eye accuracy,but when i tried to hit a 5 meter target missed it,why is this happening any ideas,or do i have to zero on different distances every time eg 10,15,20 meters
Zeroing a red dot is the same as zeroing a scope or any other, (including iron) sight. Owing to the curved trajectory of the pellet a sight usually has two distances at which the point of impact will be on the cross hairs or in this case red dot, known as the primary and secondary zero. All other distances will require "hold over" or "hold under".
All the best

you shouldn't have enough of a loopy trajectory to miss something at 5m if you've zeroed at 10m though

btw the red dot i mentioned in my earlier post is rubbish as soon as the sun comes out.
i tried using it for ipas a while ago and it was slightly sunny, i couldn't see the red dot at all
should be ok for target shooting as you don't need to acquire the red dot as fast as poss

I bought a holographic sight last week from jsr, I didn't fit it until today and I too had to play around it by manufacturing a spacer for it,
when I fitted it without a spacer the whole thing was raising on one side and lifting off the rail.
I'll reserve judgement on how it works until sunday...when i'll be trying it off a pod and in a competition or two.
