Shot my pellet gun

Hey everybody! I just thought i would share with y'all how my pellet rifle shot. It isnt nothing to brag about i can promise you that. I'm kind of disappointed in it. I shot it at about 10 or 15 yards or so. I got about a 1 inch group.

I tried to post the pic of the target i shot but i didnt work. I guess i will keep trying

Houston! That's a head shot on a small game animal. I'd take that. If I wanted a squirrel at 15...like he was in my trees out front, that would do the trick. Are you shooting from a rest, or unsupported? What make rifle?

Triggerjerk, I was shooting off my porch. There is a bench i sit on and i lean up on the hand rail. I think it's a Daisy. Here's what it says on it: Winchester Air Rifles. Then it says: Model 1000 Daisy Outdoor Products. It also has Daisy's address, so I guess it's a daisy. Here's a pic of it. I couldnt get the whole gun in the picture though.

You need to try different types\brands of ammo before giving up on the accuracy.

Like toolman said ( You need to try different types\brands of ammo) Also being a spring air gun, it may need a break in period before it settles down. May take 250 to 500 shots be for you start to see real improvement. You should also check the Crosman Forum for advice, doesn't matter its not a crosman gun.

Yes try as many different type of pellets as you can. But having said that I still have not been able to beat above pellets.

i agree with you one hundred percent. i have the cabelas hunter outfitter series air rifle. sweet shooting pellet gun. i only found one pellet that would shoot at peak performance and that was the raptors. little spendy but that is what works for the gun and me. i ended up goin through 7 different kinds befor i found this one. sight in at 30 yds and you will be set. good luck to you
