I don't think so. I think 10m and 20m.
One because 10m is the official range and over the shorter distance may just take some of the spread out.
Twenty because it opens up groups, giving a more accurate picture of pellet movement, also if the trigger is stiff, there's barrel play etc it will show more at 20m.
So I think those should stay the distances. If ppl can't get to 20m then go to the distance they can. If you say shoot 13m then we can shoot a target at 13m for comparison to yours.
Ill prob try streaching it 25m 30m if 20m shoots OK.
Just my view mind.

Don't think there was one. Being a forum if you can always update.
But I'm assuming from momentum at moment there will be lots done in next month or two.

Be good for you anyway Nunga.
Always good to get back to basics..i imagine it's been a long time since you
Had anything as primitive as this.
Maybe if we can get shooting accuracy from them at 10m a few of us who prob won't use them again could donate them to a air rifle club as loaners for newbez wanting to try out shooting at a club.
With a donated by www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz see if can get a few more members on board here.

Ok, so I had a first shoot at a target and at first I thought the trigger was stuck, then it fired after I used my pneumatic ram. It freed up after that, but was still heavy, but reasonably crisp and predictable.

After the smoke cleared, I could see it was only about 30 mm low and to the left of aim point. Shot cycle was short and actually quite enjoyable.

Gatherings were reasonably intimate, with social distancing being generally ignored despite the parabolic barrel bore. 

Here's a couple of photos of breech, group and chrony results.

I actually enjoy shooting it, and look forward to modding it.

You gonna take it back and exchange it?
That sounded pretty quiet on the video.
Loved the smoke. Wonder what they coat them with.

Nope, I will make do with what I got. The pellet should still come out straight, and the replacement might be worse.

It wasn't noisy, but camera doesn't pick all the sound up. It has a tidy little thump to it, and no twang at all.

Oh wow, that barrel does look a little bent 😳
I’ll check mine when I get home!
