Thanks Andy, thats a nice centred bull, some parts of NZ would need windage correction even indoors today, mainly wet in Taranaki, hope all are safe.
Results update and target link on Page 3. Where you are practicing and start to improve results, please post or PM me and I can include them or add to additional tables. Remember Kruza is watching for "the good, the bad and the ugly".

There's a target link and the blurb from other site which gives the measurement check earlier in the thread.
If link dont work page 135 of the out there to see thread has it. Edited by kruzaroad - 23 Oct 2025 at 10:32am |

This might be a silly question and it may have already been asked or answered but what is the target sizes we will be shooting at? as there are many different bulls eye and circle sizes out there. I have two different one here myself. do i just choose the largest of the two to get more points? :)

Kruz, its a target pistol. I think it is pushing around 2 to 3 fpe, which is where they are set originally and it only has a single stroke pump. Built for accuracy rather than power.
It would have gone through the card, but the plywood was hard up against it meant it bounced off. |

Should be able to set something up - but the rear sight is a simple piece of plastic with a slot cut in it.
 There is a screw on the side for windage adjustment  If I can easily remove the rear sight blade I should be able to fabricate a replacment with a narrower but deeper slot. With a bit of testing I should be able to get a blade that is adjusted for a 6 yard range. If I keep the origonal unaltered I can swap it back if I want to try longer ranges. Will have to have a closer look at the gun. Edited by -Ec - 22 Oct 2025 at 8:47pm |

Ec could you bench rest the pistol, get an accurate poi
Then place another target under it that you actually aim at the correct distance for the off set.? Bloody ell paul, why is that weak. |

Good stuff Ec.
I had a quick go to see if I can work around a packed garage. I have just over 5m for comfortable range. I hadn't printed targets yet as so busy at work, but have these half arsed attempt at DIY splatter targets. The target was against a ply board and low powered pellet didn't even penetrate but you can see the impact. group size 58 mm. Hope to have targets printed and will participate properly this weekend.  |

OK - so here's my first attempt ...
Gamo P900-IGT 177 Apolo .51 gram Double handed score 67  Here are close-ups of the two targets.   While the Apolo pellets are not great the gun seems to like these the best of the 3 I had available. The other two are .54 gram JSB Match Diabolo Exact and 5.5 gram Rifle Spike field. This pistol has no elevation adjustment on the sight and shoots high at this range. I was aiming at the very botom ring of the targets and still ended up high. May need to try either making a new piece for the back sight, or cutting down the existing one.

Sounds good guys. I'm happy with feet behind the line for me. Still have to see how my setup goes.
I shot competitvley in field target here. Certainly not to the level of excelence of others, but I got to enjoy the ceremony of each shot. I certainly miss it. |

Agree with -Ec From Civilian Marksmanship Programmehttps://thecmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2-2025-CMP-Air-Gun-Rulebook_v3final.pdf Both Feet including shoes behind the firing line. Good enough? If your safe range length is a little less than 6 yards, just post distance in notes, it is not worth shooting through doorways or the like. Safety first, fun second, sharing ideas, scores are well down the list. Any ex competition shooters - tell us your story.

Now come on Paul let's not get too serious pal.
I do 6 yards from fence post behind me, you do 6 meters from end of your barrel ok?

Had not really given it any thought ... FWIW I did a bit of practice earlier to see if I could get enough space in the garage and would have been to leading foot in my case.
As this is not a serious competition guess it comes down to what works for each person. Probably easiest to use a mark on the ground and leading foot like darts?

Is the 6 yds measured from muzzle or leading foot? (like in darts)
