Well, at least the gun shoots well

Baby steps. I shot 6 sets consisting of a 3” circle and a 2” circle at 10’, then another pair at 17’, and finally a pair at 33’. Five shots at each circle, except as noted on the 17’ pair.

Sitting offhand and open sights as usual.

I like to warm up with the 10’ distance on this target, but given that the 17’ results were almost as tight except for one flyer, and given that the 33’ results need a lot of improvement, maybe next time I’ll start at 17’ instead.

Gun?

Gun?

Oops, sorry! The gun is a Daisy 880, pellets are H&N FTT 8.64 gr. Two pumps at 10’, three at 17’, five at 33’.

Good start. Mine likes the RWS Hobby pellets. Always less than a dime at 10m - 33 ft. Hope you really enjoy the gin. They can be a lot of fun.

Did you mean yards or feet? Any airgun on earth should be hole on hole at 33 FEET. Much less 10 or 17 feet.

FEET is correct. The gun is capable of “hole on hole at 33 feet” because I have done that several times, offhand and unscoped. The gun, with me shooting it, has not done FIVE shots in one hole at that distance without benching it. But it probably can, when I am up to it.

Baby steps, as stated in the first post.

I do enjoy it!
