75yard shotgun shells

[El Garro]

We shoot them at around 70 yds in an old quarry we shoot in. I can pick them off standing with my fac and once the other lads get their eye in with sub 12s they're flying call over the place.
The only downside is it's 3 climbs and two walks to find them again, perch them on the rock face and get back up onto the other side to shoot them again.
Good fun tho. They don't half fly when you catch them right eh.

Shotgun shells (i.e. 12 bore?), from an unrested standing position at 70 yards?

I'm new to air guns, what's classed as long distance?

I was at the Greyhound last week (Nr Coventry) and I managed to hit a few of the targets on their plinking range at 60 yards, not too many times but its difficult to see where you're missing at that distance.

Gun is a Pro Sport .177 with Air Arms Field. It's fairly new having only one tin through it. Scope is a Hawke Map Pro 3-9x50

I zeroed it at 30 and used each dot as a 10 yard increment and it seemed to work pretty well although I'm hoping I'll get better with practice as I'm still getting used to just about everything.

Sun was out, no wind so off to the shooting club for some long range plinking, I took both my MFR's (.177 and 20) and was shooting with a guy who had a Daystater Air ranger (if you are read this, sorry mate I don't know your name). After we zeroed our guns we were both hitting a 20mm spinner fairly consistantly, didn't have any shotty cases so put up some spent .22 rimmy cases instead, didn't take many shots before we both nailed one......105yards

Hi chaps not done this for a while but was at my local range today North Wales Shooting School and decided to give it a go again . I have also got a new rifle and scope . A Steyr LG11O Hunter with a Lightstream scope on top , I put 14 , 12 bore empty shell's on the furthest rack and ranged it at 83yards it took me 17 shots to send them all spinning the best I have ever done by a long way . It was an ideal day no wind at all ATB Mike
