Flyaways

[FIDI_G]

What are some tips on preventing flyaways? How do I tell if it's me or my pellets. I always seem to have a flyway that ruin's my grouping. I dont think it's my gun. I'm thinking it's either me or my pellets. I get consistant readings on my chrono. I get several good clean shots within a 1/4" -1/2" groupings and then a stray or two.

How do I minimize the stupid stray shots? Could use some tips. I'm shooting from a chair on a table with a criket calibur gun with an Arken SH4 GEN2 with a bipod and sandbag to keep things steady. I have a wind streamer close to my targets. My zero is about 25 yds away.

Can I get some ideas on minimizing the flyaways? I'm using FX 18g pellets.

Try feeding the pellets one at a time instead of using the magazine. If the problem goes away, then you know what to look at.

Different pellets are another option. Not all guns like all pellets.

For me, if a shot is out of the group but I missed by a little it's me. If there's a shot that makes me say to myself, WTH??? It's a flyer caused by the pellet.
It's how I live with that shot...haha

Last Sunday afternoon, JPS2486 started a thread in Projectiles called, "Accuracy Inconsistent?" He weighed a tin of JSB pellets and posted a picture of the results. Suspect some of the outlier, fringe pellets are just too far out of specification for all PCPs to shoot accurately and will result in fliers. WM

99% of the time it's shooter error. At least with me. I can usually tell the second I pull the trigger.

@ FIdi_G., you did not mention the distance you are shooting. Wind could be a factor. A 2 mph wind will move a pellet a couple inches @ 100 yds and you can't feel it on your face.. Try wind flags and study the wind.
