I spent most of the afternoon reading and trying to decipher my way hrough the swarm of terrible info on long ramnge. 20 yard (???)'shooting and scope and pellet performances.
Yes pellet size, Head shape and size, lead composition pand speed have lots to do to control accuracy and performance
Yes scope magnification controls much of a rifles performance as range increases
You don't need or want a variable 20x magnification scope for 10m less is always more stables 4 is nearly too much fo 10m !
I rarely use ,ore than 4X even at 80 yards simply for a stable place to put my p let one needs to see most if not all the animal too locate vitals. Toommuch scope magnification looks pretty but dosen't help find the heart or brain...
Targetsalso benifit from more stability Looking for that center spot
Yes I too madethe big magnification mistake in days gone by. W I learned from my mistak s and now preach about the need to see clearly ! So much dpnds on your ammo
All points discussed above factor in on stable, accurate shooting
A stable pellet carries th farth st with the most reliablity
Your entir shooting experi nice will be enhnsed and naturally become more relaxing and more fun!
I've been shooting airguns since 1959 at least and I have to admit that I have'nt stopped lea ning every shot !
Think about every shot or string and you'll see what I mean
This airgun forum is a great place because you get nearly up to the minute info
If owe'd only had this back when.... !
Used to be you'drarely iun into anyone who would even admit to be hung up on "Pellet guns".
