IE: what distance is deemed to be Long range with 12ftlbs springer shooting is any thing over 35 yds considered long range????????????

Personally I would say anything over 60 yards is proper long range, yet every person will have a different idea of what they thing long is.

well i think anything over 30 yrds is long but maybe thats because i have only just started

I think of long range shooting with legal limit air rifles as being anything in excess of the maximum possible hunting distance i.e. anything over 50 yards.

That way you know you're into pure target shooting and you are beyond clouding your head with thinking is this a possible live target shot? Once you get out of that frame of mind you tend to relax a bit - the pressure is off, you're only shooting paper and that doesn't mind if you skank one!

My personal goal!
Is 100yard sub 1"
But getting a still day when i can get out as well is proving a nightmare!!

I'm with you there buddy, I'd love to get in under that magic inch but it is a mighty hard task

Generally its considered that 40 -45 yds is about the max range for hunting ,also H.F.T. only set targets to about 45yds max so i'd reckon anything over 50 yds would be long range. Seems a bloody long way to me any how

In my opinion, I would deem anything over 40yds as long range & anything over 55yds seriously long range but that's just me. A rifle of any type is only as good as the person using it. If you are hunting however, long range would be the pinnacle distance of your ability to achieve a clean kill & no matter how good a shot you are, you never break that distance.
