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.

Hello everyone,
Really felt like “winter indoor shooting” this morning even though the Sun is out. Low 40's this morning and my shop floor a bit too cold for my bare feet so I was forced to slip on some shoes to shoot this target. My offering for a competition target today.

Pistol: Diana Bandit .177 caliber modified w/Buck Rail AR Conversion & Grip
Scope: Hawkeye Red Dot
Pellets: H&N Sport 8.18gr Wadcutter
FPS: 475
FPE: 5.9
Position: Bench with Bipod and rear Bag

Did a little shooting with my Leshiy Classic 177 I put a Hawke Crossbow scope on it figure that will work for shooting sparrows off the feeder man this thing is so quiet I'll be able to sit on the patio and pop them, that's the main reason for sighting in so close. The cross hair is crooked because its tilled on the bag.
