POI shift ?

Thanks friend. I will keep that in mind the next time I set-up my targets. I have tested my first shot velocity from both by PCP's and I am very lucky to have them tuned really well. The Taipan shoots the H&N 25 grain slugs at 940fps and the FX Wildcat shoots the 44.75 grain JSB's at 895 fps. Through my various tests, the first shot after the guns have sat overnight or for multiple days have been within 5 fps of their average. My issues I believe is from my trigger pull and wind causing the POI shift. I will have to be mindful next time I shoot and perhaps use a gun rest to shoot so it takes out the trigger pull issue/variance from the equation.Hi mate, here's something I think I can help with. The fact that the outside temperature is different from that of the room you're shooting from and the rifle is tempered to it, does not affect the velocity, for those 45 yards to the target, the projectile cannot be affected by this temperature difference. Play with the wind completely and check the speed of the shots again. I think it's unnecessary to fill your head with nonsense like barrel indexing and so onToday, my hobby friends and I spent 3-4 hours shooting 250-300 shots at a distance of 100 m in the Extreme Benchrest discipline. I would say that I am satisfied with the day, I again scored 210+ points for a non-professional like me
