    :) Hi Andy,nice pic.
    You can't miss with a telescopic sight like that lol.or is it not that easy?
    I guess you have a very small target......proberbly at quite a distance.

    40mm hole up to 55 yards away and 15mm up to 25 yards.....not easy as you have different impact points at different ranges so accurate rangefinding is essential which is where you need to be dead on with your calibrations.

    Nice hobby Andy, target then in this country.? Do you re-load your own ammo.? Member of a club.?
    I shot target Archery for many years here & USA & competed in the USA & here.. Got to represent England in 95 & 96.. I have also shot black powder & .22 in the states as a member of a sportsman's club in CA.. Have done a few competitions, the black powder was hard but the .22 is a snitch..!

    yes in this country,my rifle is a pre-charged pneumatic air rifle(don't confuse my air rifle with the £40 junk rifles the chavs use,mine costs £1000+ not including the charging gear and sights) so no ammo reloading needed but i do check the quality of the pellets for condition and weight.
    yes i'm in a field target club which has insurance at £10:thumb:
