I've had great fun and learnt a lot pushing the limits of my airguns on the shooting range, how else can you know your hunting limits ?
I'm not a gifted marksman and use a bipod or bag to eliminate as much of me as I can, I have good quality guns, scopes and pellets straight from the tin, I measure my shooting ranges with a surveyors tape, and measure my group sizes from the center of the bulls eye. At the shooting range I usually warm up for a few mags before shooting groups, so this is not applicable to a hunting situation.
Both my .177 PCP rifles shoot consistent 10 shot sub 1" at 55 yards but I have never got sub 1/2" groups.
Both my .22 PCP carbines shoot consistent 5 shot sub 1" at 45 yards.
My .177 Prosport sub 3/4" at 35 yards and XL Lightning .177 sub 3/4" at 30 yards both 5 shot groups.
A better shot than me would easily be able to improve on these groups, especially the springer ones, but it has taken hours getting the right guns, scopes and especially testing pellets to achieve this, knowing your PCP power/shot curve, scope reticule and barrel cleaning schedule is critical. This forum and its members have saved me time and money with good advice, cheers lads ! If/When I start consistently cracking 5 shot sub 1/2" groups at these ranges I will be over the moon.
