Plinking Air Rifle !

[Blackrider]

I have the same problem.
I can put my distance specs on (for driving) and the target is in focus.
But the sights are not.
Or don’t use the specs and it’s the opposite.
I can just about get away with it on the bell target (6yards) and bigger targets (tin cans) at 10-20 yards.
Les..

15 to 20 yards may just be my limit on opens, we'll see !

Cheers Les.

Both sights maybe in focus, it’s the target that may not depending on what distance I set it at.

Thanks Les.

Similar, but different here.

I used to really love shooting on opens. Nice, basic and rugged. And would often surprise myself at how many small targets I could connect with at longer ranges and also group sizes.

However, since the cataract ops last year - no glasses and the sights are in focus. Target blurry and, in some cases, impossible to see.

Glasses on - target in focus, sights hopelessly blurry.

But then a couple of months ago, using my little Diana 24D on opens at six yards, with a view to resuming visits to the Bell Target venue, better results were achieved with glasses on, despite the blurry sights.

I wonder if there's some "magic prescription" that an optician can help with?????

Good light levels improve matters with me.
Indoor range is problematic especially in these dark autumn/winter mornings.
My present varifocals are a slight improvement but nowhere near perfect. It’s either sights in focus or target in focus I’m afraid.��

My favourite garden plinker is my wooden stocked Daisy 922 , they were nicknamed the 'Arkansas Can Opener' , it wears an old steel tubed Weaver 1.5-4.5x20 scope and is a really fun and handy little rifle for garden shooting , the dimensions also mean that it's not a too much for the children either.

Makes a consistent 10ftlb on 10 pumps .

I remember that advert now.

Thank you for the memory jog.

Had a nice couple of short plinking sessions with the Ratcatcher yesterday and today. Great, effortless fun!:

Probably the correct answer.

That's the truth

Especially like to plink with my .25 Stingray and .25 FAC Tomahawk
.25's knock the crap out of everything

Some said in the past that the term "plinking" came from the sound made when our little pellets hit tan cans. So, is walloping them with a .25 termed as "thwacking"?
