What's the furthest shot you ever hit on target. Could be a target or a animal. I only use sub 12ftlb air rifles so don't see the true power and potential of these air rifles and air guns. Maybe the uk guys using FAC air rifles and USA guys using your unlimited power & anyone else can tell me what the longest shots you've ever taken and your favourite rifles to use. Springer or pcp or co2.
Whats the longest shot youve ever taken and with which airgun
- Thread starter msc
- Start date
400 yards on a 10 inch steel target, need to get out further.
Edit: forgot to mention smacked a ground squirrel silly at around 320 yards.

Taipan Veteran Compact in .22 PCP. Pest birds out to about 30 to 40 yards. Working on improving my skills.

Plenty of 90+ yard shots with .30 cal Evanix RainStorm and FX Dreamline to kill Ground Hogs with head shots.
Still think 95 yards with a Crosman NP2 .22 cal on a 4" target was some of the best shots I've ever made!

My FWB 300 was my proudest shot. I took a squirrel with it at about 50yds. That gun is like 6fpe I think. I’ve taken other squirrels with most my full 12fpe guns at 55yds. Typically I try to stay inside 40 though

1,777 yards is apparently the record. I'm a little shy of that, likely around 60 yards is the longest shot I've attempted with an airgun.

New World Record Longest Airgun Hit
Oure more than 5-year journey from the first slug tests to the previous world record 3.5 years ago is over. We achieved our goal of hitting a target at a distance of one Mile - 1625m, 1777 yards ! I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed this journey to my goal. We will gradually add...

350 yards, used a FX impact .25. I had a pretty big target though, it was the side of a old barn or maybe it was the roof not sure, but I definitely heard the hit.

285 yards and a dead groundhog. I’ve shot inanimate objects further away and hit what I was aiming at but with my long range gun my confidence for a one shot kill runs out past 290. It’s an M3 PCP .25 with custom machined parts. I couldn’t make that shot with a stocker unless I was willing to walk my rounds in or just hope for a hit. Right now I’m waiting on a 219 yard groundhog and killing time on the forum. Raining so I had to move from the yard to the house. Much more comfortable.

200 yards is my furthest shot, it's a 36" square of 3/8" mild steel. I have water in the field so I could see splashes and creeped up on it.
.30 Maverick, bottom of the scope at X24. I got a good half dozen shots that hit steel but no idea where on the plate due to my lack of desire to swim out there to look.
OH LOOK! More rain...

I'd buy a better Gun if I had more range.
Longest ever shot I took was with a Slayer .357
One of Tom's prototypes, at Glenco, Kentucky FairGrounds.
300 yards or so into the side of a 5 gallon bucket.
That is MY Dream Gun!

My furthest shot was this five shot group at 130 yards using my Theoben rapid .20 caliber.
Dead calm morning and I’ve never been able to do it again lol.
Cherry picked five shot group, but still blew my mind!

I smoked a crow out of a tree at one of my farm permissions a year or two ago at 225 yds. .25 RTI with 34g H&N's. Took two shots - first one was just a lob out there to see if I could even get close to them ( there were three or four of them in said tree ). The guy that own the property was 'egging me on' ie; "... so how far can you shoot with that thing - can you get them crows out there?" I ranged them and dialed it up. Surprisingly the first one definitely spooked 'em good and we were both like "Whoa . . . ! " Two of the birds took off and the other two circled the tree for a minute or so and settled right back into it. I re-ranged to make sure I had an accurate distance and sent it. Booyah! Both of us (the property owner / farmer) and I were amazed - holy crap! lol!!

I love to shoot longer distances. Beer cans etc are all potential victims. My longest beer kill to date is 250 yards.
Last year I killed a ground squirrel at 205, at least that is what the range finder said. Took two shots because I miscalculated the wind hold.
This year I finally got a ballistic app and stickered up my scope.
Bought a better range finder and it has made a big difference. The morning I stickered the scope I went to a rock face close to the ranch that is a reliable place to find pigeons. They are hard to get close to. Ranged the first one @ 165 with a slight breeze L to R. Dialed it up and gave it a slight hold (cannot remember the exact) into the wind and it fell dead at the shot.

Long Ranger Contest run by Airgun Depot a few years a go, exploding golf at 100 yards. Got it second shot with my 22 cal Benjamin Titan.

Best I’ve been able to do is to hit a starling at 145 yards with my RAW .22. It usually takes me a couple shots to figure the wind out but I have hit two at that distance now.
