Holy crap thats a long ways.I really enjoy ELR with airguns. Most of my shooting is done between 200-600+ yards.
I have two Impacts set up for ELR. A MK2 and an M3, both are 700mm. Originally they were both in .22 and most of my shooting has been done with 28-29grn slugs.Holy crap thats a long ways.
What setup do you use for that? Im guess 30 cal slugs?
Id guess flatter trajectory so less hold over and wind drift?Why the push for slugs?
If 90% of the people here are shooting under 100 yards.
If you can keep 1 inch groups at 125 yds that is very impressive. Id be happy to hit pop cans or bottles at that rangePlinking off-hand is my main interest and I shoot 1" spinners setup from 5 to 45 yards on my 55 yard lane.
My pesting and hunting is similar to my plinking ranges. Most shots are sub 50 yards but frequently out to 75.
I've recently cut a 128 yard lane for longer range bench shooting that I'm just getting into.
For me it's not distance that's important. Rather than going extreme range, I'm specifically interested in how far I can consistently hit a 1" target. Considering current technology (I prefer. 22 caliber 30ish FPE PCPs) I figure that's around 125 yards.

For 40 yards and more you are talking Pre Charged Pneumatic (PCP) rifles in .22 caliber or greater.I would be interested to hear what type of air rifles are being used out at ranges of 40 yds. and up ?
Thanks for the reply, I sort of guessed that was the case, my adult son is deep into PCP but still enjoys his break barrel rifles, I shoot 40~50 yds. with good results with two of my Weirauch rifles in .20 and .22 caliber, a HW-95 and HW-80K, I also have a Budget priced Crosman Vantage NP in 177 cal. that shoot extremely well at 50 yds.For 40 yards and more you are talking Pre Charged Pneumatic (PCP) rifles in .22 caliber or greater.
