What distance do ya'll target shoot with
Co2 and Pumpers?

My CO2 pistols are shot around 10 yards. My own accuracy is better a bit closer up. My CO2 pistols include: Colt 1911; Sig Saur P320: Colt SAA Peacemaker Revolver; Baretta 92FS. I haven't shot any of these in nearly 2 years. This is a good reminder for me. I haven't even shot my "carry" pistol, a Springfield Arms Garrison 1911, 9mm. I'll have to get some target time in as Spring draws near. I've shot my two chosen .22 cal. pellet rifles, regularly, my TX200 and HW97K, but neglected my Dragonfly and my Sheridan MB2260. My HW50S awaits y pick-up at AofA in April.

I always take the Winter Basement CO2 guns to the Range at the first 90 degree day of summer.
With not much work you can get that little Diana Chaser Kit to shoot 40 yards for about 20 shots then it's fun as it slowly drops in velocity. That's with a scope. I would not shoot vermit at that range but paper is good. The Beeman QB 78 can reach out to 50 yards.
In the basement I only shoot from 45 ft to 60max.
Loved CO2;since I was a kid.

And none of my handguns are very good past 15 yards.

My Crosman 2240 with the steel breech and upgraded hammer spring shoots great out at 15 yards. Since I have a new chrony, I gonna have to run it across to find out fps. I impulsively, out of sheer nostalgia, bought a Red Ryder BB pistol before Christmas, and other than giving it a good pawing over, have left it in the safe. I will have to pull her out at the same time, see how far and fast it shoots. Anybody tried out one of the RedRyder pistols for accuracy yet?

I've shot my RR pistol I got for Xmas, but I'm like Don Knotts in Shakiest Gun in the West when it comes to pistols. It did alright, minute of can at least in my hands at about 10yds I think it was.

All of my pistols (sproinger, ssp, mpp, and co2) I shoot between 5 and 15 yards.

That right there is plenty good enough for me! I'm bout the same way now, tremble and shake like a dog crappin peach seeds sideways! Still fun though, minute of can still brings a smile, making them dance and jump. Is a good thing I don't rely on a pistol to handle my critter getting.though. Can't bust bulls eyes like I used to with them.
