100m+ springer challange.

Friggin wind. It's a overcast showery day here. I've got a 15km gusty wind coming in from behind, left hand side at about 7 oclock if you have the 12 oclock facing the target. That goes for 80m approx then it changes to about 3 oclock for the last 37m when the trees end. Sux.
Anyway at 117m I'm just trying to find where my point of aim is, as I've only sighted in to 80m.
Of 15 shots three have hit roughly in line vertically. (I have a opened out cardboard box behind it, none have hit that)
The closest shot has been the batten when I caught a wind break.
The pellet in the post is at the same aim point, but the wind gusted up as I fired. That was an interesting result in itself. To the right of the post is a light graze from an early pellet which is what I used to figure out roughly how many more mildots I needed to lift. But honestly the wind is really stuffing me up.
Still got a 6pack of gissy gold to shoot when wind is gone.

From the guns I've had my money is on the asp20's.
Found them a surprisingly good gun.

That is the most dramatic filming of the death of a bottle I have ever seen!!
Never would have picked that for a tx.
You do the stock as well? Be keen to see a review on what you did to it internally and externally.
Nice shooting by the way your a 100 bucks up for now. 👍

Your kidding! I thought a pcp would go further let's see if we can beat it.
Righto here's the pics.
Hw97 black line. Totally stock, I haven't adjusted anything at all on it since I got it including the trigger.
Pellet h&n field. Target trophy 14.66gr.
Wind coming from left gental breeze. Reasonably consistent.
Scope. 14x zoom set at Max elevation plus 9 mildot hold over (scope is not shimmed)
Windage 2.5 mildots.
Hand on bag, rear no support.
Carboard for sighting about 15 shots to get happy with drop and sort windage. 5 shots at can, 2 hit batten, 2 I'm assuming went to the left as no impact marks to right.
5th shot hit.
Measured against a v can 5mm approx left of a edge hit of v can.
For now this the distance to beat.
I'll do the v can later just to see if I can (no pun intended) but I set it at a beer can so that's the standard.
What has supprised me is it blew through it.
Oh the sytong distance reads 3m more than the golf range finder. (which I only found out when I couldn't get a photo through golf range finder and switched to see if could use sytong scope)
I'm going with the sytong as it measures in point of a meter as well and is most likely the most accurate.
