Bench Rest Accuracy with tuner (Heliboard)

[MDRICH2]

Hi. I am fairly new to Airguns and have recently became a member of the Airgun Nation website. I am really learning a lot about my PCP and shooting in general. I am recently retired and thought bench rest would be a great and expensive hobby to take up some of my down-time.

I have attached a couple of paper targets (1”) I shot at an indoor range at both 25/50 yards with my .22 Redwolf standard. I am wondering if it would be worth it to buy a tuner to hopefully tighten up the groups or maybe I just continue to work on my shooting techniques which will hopefully improve my accuracy. I understand wind will be an additional element I will need to deal with, but just would like your thoughts in general regarding the tuning aspect. Thank you.

Here are the two parts you need to assemble a rear rest like I pictured above, if interested?

Your welcome. I think you will like it. I have 3 of them and use all quite a bit. One is dedicated the my ARA rifle, one for my air rifle indoor shooting and one for my home range. You certainly don’t need 3 as one will do all quite easily.

Just be careful ordering from Ali Express. Just make sure that you click on the correct picture before placing the add to cart order button. Sometimes they show multiple items in one ad and the price always appears on the lowest priced item. Click on the other items and you will see prices change. They are safe to order from but just a a bit weird until you figure it out.

Yes, I've discovered that I can be really stupid sometimes. Had I read the posts correctly I would have discovered (not once but twice), that if you use the link to AliExpress and use the Buy Now feature, you will have ordered a Type B Digital Protractor instead of the Manual Lift. Even if the description is correct, you still have to select one of the products following the description. The default selection is Type B Digital Protractor. Anybody need a Type B Digital Protractor?

Been there, done that but shhhhh, don't tell anyone

That is why I was trying to warn you and others of the pitfalls that lie ahead.
