AEA SF Sniper Ballistics

[BeeHavior]

So, I spent a while trying to sight in a new scope to 100 yards. Sorta got it, then I had a really hard time hitting anything beyond the target. I thought maybe my pressure was just too low and went out again today. I could hit things within 100 yards but shots were all over the place. I found a ballistic calculator and I've got an idea of why.

I adore the gun, it was just naïve of me to think that the subsonic gun with 'sniper' in the name would shoot flat.

What ranges do y'all shoot at? Should I lose the optics and just go with iron sights?

I vote for for the irons.. but I prefer irons..I have a American tactical liberty Nova 22 caliber and it shoots very well. back when I could still shoot long distance,100 yards 3" groups with it on out to 160 at 170 I couldn't hit a 24" backstop.. just literally scattered everywhere..I got my Henry Golden boy and tried them side by side just to see if I was having a bad day..
nope pushed it on out to the end of my drive 1/4 mile and still hit good..
I came to the conclusion that the liberty Nova was just out of steam past 160.. I don't remember what it chronograph at .
hopefully someday I'll be able to try pushing my airforce Condor 22 out to a 1/4 mile.. assuming I stop shaking someday..
the Condor is the most powerful and simple air gun that I have shot..
