Interesting, I’ll give it some thought.Maybe take up bucket and sticks shooting to offset the standing. Or make a standin and sitting set of shooting sticks . For me I grown too lazy to want to stand too much.. when I hunt like squirrel that's when I do stand and prop on a tree or somthing .. anyway just a thought on another way to shoot for fun ..

Hard to find good examples bit the pictures here show bucket and stickInteresting, I’ll give it some thought.
Hunter Piston or Hunter PCP. What’s The Best Choice For Field Target Competition?
Also you could google home made shooting sticks and see some to make yourself if needed.
That is some fine off-hand work there FL22. It doesnt get much better than that.
Anytime you can hit a quarter sized group iron sights with a little brace is on point.
No squirrel stands a chance.....
I think I better start doing some explaining lol
First off, @Hateful McNasty has been helping me a lot, giving me good advice and guidance.
Thank you sir.
Each one of the targets that I have posted, I have moved into different positions trying to figure out where I shoot the best from plus me and the rifle are settling in. This is my first springer.
The first few targets that I posted my leading hand was bracing against a post and as always, I’m standing.
This post that you are quoting is me standing, bracing against the bed and my leading hand in between the rifle and railing of my pickup truck. I’m still standing, but it is far more stable and I was able to look through the sites much better.
So I would say any improvement is credit to a better shooting position and stable platform. Shooting off the bed of my truck is where I seem to do the best, but I can’t explain it for some reason it feels a lot like I’m cheating.

My friend tried a new sight that I designed and printed. He said using this sight was "like cheating". He was not aware that statement was a big compliment to the sight's design. I said the concept of a sight was to make it easier to accomplish the goal of hitting the target. There are no rules when it comes to accurate shooting. If you need more challenge, remove all your sights and barrel shoot your target and see if that accomplishes your need for challenge and satisfy your goal. Continue to do what you need to do to improve. You can always introduce more challenges back into the process later. Like I said before, nice shooting!I think I better start doing some explaining lol

Could you show some of the sights that you designed? Thanks
A guy at agn made up 3d printed front sights to fit shrouded PCP guns

All the sights I have made use the same concept of theory. If you can see precisely where the equipment is targeted, and you know what effect gravity has on the projectile, you will be able to place your shot where you want it. Since I have been on this site, I have emphasized the importance of getting new young shooters back into this sport. This sight has many advantages to help accomplish that goal. I have invested 7+ years and 2 patents into this project to get all the bugs out. Some of our members work in the industry and are always looking for new concepts, as they should. I see no advantage posting any pictures. The sights are not complicated, but they are unique.Thank you.

Maybe requires a nondisclosure agreement to get one ..I understand, I wouldn’t want anyone copying or using my work without compensation.

Maybe getting them young shooters ( or anybody) interested in it ? ..lol.

Thank you for understanding. I set up an air gun range at our IW club house and I have kids under 5 shooting at close range with good accuracy. Kids 6 and older are wiping out all the 6mm beads from 2-13 Yards. It is challenging for me to keep developing new re-active targets to keep them challenged. Many of the grandparents are shocked at how good they are. I just tell them that it must be good genetics.I understand, I wouldn’t want anyone copying or using my work without compensation.

I have used NDA's when pitching concepts to potential licensing partners. My patents are only effective in the US. Most people just have an interest and mean no harm. I have found that some people are not open to new ideas, and they don't "believe" that there may be alternative concepts. They can and have done a lot of damage to this project. A number of them have been experts in their disciplines. My sight works so well that I would trust any 8 year-olds (with no experience in shooting) to demo it versus experts theorizing about why it doesn't work. I try to present data based on facts and I think I can have many good conversations with all the members here. Keep up the good posts!

I set these up at various distances I get pests. A little two sided tape
I'm taking notes of holdover/holdunder for this setup at all my pesting distances.
These were at a short 10 yards. First target was finding my hold, had it for the new target. This is shooting using a window sill as support

Nice groups, that's about what I do standing offhand with My TX @25/30Yards with a scope so not bad at all FL22! Your results are destroying my Slavia. I need a scope in that thing so badly
Anyways maybe I missed it but What speed are you pushing those 8.44gr pellets? Also those slug groups outta the .25 JTS how are they compared to your pellets groups?Create an account or login to comment
