Doing a little bullseye shooting - not 20 yards as per the target scaling, but at 7 yards - my limit. This is with Baracuda FT 9.57 straight from tin.

Hello again @rsfrid
Yep you are correct, look at this:
Hello @rsfrid
OK I weighted enough to get 25 pellets that were the same weight. I shot one as a sighter and the balance of 24 at the targets. This time I had two fliers ???
I will weight more until I get another exact 25 and shoot them in a new rifle that I just received as a comparison later on this afternoon.

Guess that's why I don't shoot Crossman. Keep in mind most airgun shooters are happy to just hit a soda can at 25 yards or the corner of a gong at 50/100 yards. Those fliers would have done the job with those shooters. As we move more and more to sub moa teeny distances, what is a flier to us isn't a flier to many other shooters. I can't stand it when a brand of pellets produces fliers of .1” and move on to another brand. I can't explain your fliers, but if that were my gun, I'd seek another brand. Just saying.

looking at ALL the shots i might say it could be trigger finger placement ? comparing shot 18 (flyer) to shot 23 is what makes me think this . ?

Hello @rsfrid
Ross I am just using up a bunch of extra pellets and not trying to get this pistol to "like" the Crosman. The Pistol shoots perfect with the H&N and the JSB, I just found it a bit odd with these fliers. I'm almost out of these so I will move on to another one.
Hey all of this is fun in one way or the other and that is what counts

Hello @beerthief
You could be right, but I have this trigger set pretty low and I am taking my time with each shot. As I explained to Ross, I am just shooting up a bunch of extra pellets and will not be using the Crosman again in this Pistol.
With my next pellet order I will add some AA's and give them a try.

Thomas, I don't mean to second guess your trigger process but have a look at this article and see if it describes what’s going on
Trigger Finger Placement For Accurate Pistol Shooting
Which part of your finger should pull the trigger: the pad or the joint? We explain why you shouldn't always use the tip of your finger to pull the trigger.
