I am accuracy/precision driven. While I like shooting outdoors at targets, I am just as happy chasing one hole accuracy indoors at 7 yards. Distance isn't as important to me as precisely placing 5 pellets thru the same exact hole.
You do follow High Pressure Pneumatics in Harrison don't you? Best and biggest airgun store in Michigan. Tom runs 50 and 100 yard benchrest comps all summer. He has a heated 2-seat shooting shed next to store with shooting out to 100 yards to try before you buy. Check him out if you get a chance.
Yeah, I know. 7 yards is all I can eek out in my basement and city doesn't allow shooting outdoors on private property. When I go to club range I usually have rifles.
When exclaiming about your groups at 10 yards, Just keep in mind that MOA at 10 yards is a mere .10”! Yes, one needs to be able to nearly put all pellets thru same hole at 10 yards to achieve MOA groups. I shoot regularly at 7 yards with a Weihrauch HW44 and MOA is only .07”. And yes 5 shot...
I use them in my Weihrauch HW44 177 cal since they seem to be the best shooting pellet out of that gun. Last year I did a bought of shooting small groups in my basement - groups of 5 shots. 20 groups over two days of shooting, all sub moa groups - many one hole groups. So my conclusion is this...
My longest owned airgun is my Weihrauch HW44 in 177 cal. I have long been a pistol person both PBs and air/CO2 and have grown to rely on my HW44 for accuracy and consistent shots.
Been there many a time and watched as Tom built his business. My first air rifle came from HPP followed by many more. Great to have such a business a few miles from my home. Great food in Harrison too 🫢😂
I shoot paper with pistols at 7 yds in my basement. I occasionally shoot air rifles at 25 and 50 yards at a range, but it is a hassle for me to load up truck and drive out just to shoot for an hour or so. Here’s my every day setup.
Shot in my basement (7 yards) with my Weihrauch HW44 in 177 cal, this morning. Shot first card for accuracy (I score an X for touching the center cross hairs) and the second for groups. First card with H&N BaracudaFT 9.57 gn and second group card with FX 10.3 grains.
