Beeman Experience with the beeman r9 for hunting?

[EmersonWaved]

I just not understanding this part

"shot these on a bag at about 25 yards, adjusting the open sights as best as I can, it seems the rear sight can be moved about but I can’t figure out how without bending/breaking it."

You got a knob on top for elevation and on the side for windage . At just 25y you should have way plenty of adjustment up or down ..
View attachment 512682

Elevation know turs right /clockwise for up. Left / counterclockwise for down.

Windage is clockwise for left counterclockwise for right

That should be in the guns manual in the box

Should not be needing to bend nothing ..

The rear sight post has multiple knotches, Id like to swap to the slightly wider knotch.
Is what Im referring to. I simply mean because I need to shoot it enough to wear it in (only have probably 170 shots so far, needs a lot more), adjusting the sights only helps till it settles in

Your groups will tighten up as you learn to shoot it. I have an exercise I go through when I haven't shot a springer in a while. I shoot at cans offhanded. Start at twenty yards and work out to 50. It will take a few shooting sessions but offhand shooting is the key. When you shoot off a rest the springer can shoot all over the place. learning to hold it correctly is the key. They are a very accurate rifle but I have found I shoot springers better with open sights than I do scoped.

Thanks for this practice idea! I remember there was a post where a guy uses a plastic bottle at 20/50/70 yards just to make sure he can still make a hit.

Ill try yours out lol I wanna shoot offhand more as I intend to use this for hunting, but have been taking the time breaking in the gun when it isnt windy as hell

You should just pinch the square notch blade at the top and bottom - slightly pull out and turn to the notch you want to use of the 4

FWIW, My 95 shot cycle after an ARH kit with a Vortek seal and GPL-205 Krytox lube. .22 is about 17 FPE after 8K shots. iPhone recorded at 6'.

I just got an HW95 and the rear sight notch was too thin for me, so broke the barrel to get at it and pulled the little four way sight blade which is spring loaded, and rotated it to a more desirable sight then released it.
