    My garden is 125yards long so been having some fun with the long range stuff for a while.

    I've found Chairgun to give very good estimates out to these ranges.

    Using Chairgun with a 50 yard zero, (JSB 8.44gn pellets at 770 fps), the drop at 200 yards is a wopping 230inches, or 19 feet. Hence the need for some serious packing of the rear mount.

    Cubleycats 310mm at 10m would equal approximately 223 inches at 200 yards, so a nice coorelation again with CG. (310mm=12.2"/10m. 200yds=183m. 12.2"x18.3 = 223").

    Even at 125 yards I can't use my Mk3 because its not possible to pack the mount enough that on lowest mag (8x) the target is visible.

    I've been using a DS Mk4 with a scope (Tasco 2.5-10x44) set to 5x mag and as long as the wind allows my baked bean tin takes a beating. At this range the pellets easily penetrate the tin.

    (from the one who started this insane long distance shooting that has caused some heated debates in the past but now there is proof it is possible LOL)

    For the non-believers. If you can't accept that this is 200 yards, why not time it? You can see/hear the gun fire and then the tin fall, 200yards will take the pellet almost exactly 1.5 seconds. Simples.

    At home in a broadband desert today so I've not tried this yet. Might convince a few doubters.
