Bought first pcp rifle

You will find it likes pretty much all of the pellets. Until you get a chrono I would probably stick with the factory tune and not go much below an 18 gr projectile.

I understand. I shot about 20 shots of crosman hollows yesterday and the group was tight enough at 25 yards to take out doves.

Congrats! Now either stop looking at the forum or expect to be “gun poor” for the rest of you life.

You are correct. You just bought your FIRST pcp rifle... just wait, I hope you have a rope ladder.

Yeah they might get a little crazy further out as they are probably cooking at the factory tune. The 22 avenger I had loved crosman pellets at 880 to 900.

I have it tuned down south. About 1500 on reg. About turn and half on hammer. At 25 yards it is destroyed a 4 by 4. This is going to be a big learning experience for me. I feel like a young man again.

this works great and matches my more $$ caldwell , small , light weight easy to use , clamps to end of barrel so no worries about shooting it .

Thanks. I will keep that in mind. I have never owned one. But I have never felt I needed 1 till now. I appreciate all you guys trying to help the old man. I may even get to meet some of you guys one day at a competition. Who knows how far I will go with this new hobby!

Ok. This avenger is the 22 cal. I have some splatter targets on the way, I going to hang in there with this rifle for a while. Try my best to learn all I can. Im going to strech his legs with some different tunes on out to 50 yards when my targets arrive. I know I need a chrono, but I'm going to play old school for a while and just try some things first. You know just good old try and error. I'm in it for the fun factor!

Beware the Rabbit Hole® you have entered it can lead to many problems, monetary and personal and possibly a never ending chase for perfection.

Honestly, just print up some targets, way cheaper and you'll be able to see your hits. Just get the chrono, makes things easier, cheaper than cans of pellets and guessing, I use a heavy weight paper in yellow/orange, helps me to see it at a distance with my targets on it. Personally, the FX works fine and is cheap and portable.
