So I guess you get about 50 yards of accuracy outta pcp's. After that your asking for to much. Bought an impact and it doesn't hold up to claims from people on YouTube. Kinda mad to spend that kinda money and not get insane accuracy like I thought.
I have been shooting .25cal 33.95 heavies mk1 and mk2. I also shot the smaller size as well can't remember what grain they were."terrymc"What Caliber are you shooting?
And how much wind are you dealing with?
What pellets are you shooting?
Did you shoot the impact straight out of the box or tweek it?
These are big factors for long range shooting for even the best Airguns.
I have owned several PCP's now and I can tell you that 22's will be shifted big time by the wind even at 25 meter.
I had a 25 cal FX and it also can be shifted pretty good in the wind even at shorter ranges.
I currently have 2 30 cal PCP's and both of those buck the wind fantastic at shorter distances, however having shot a 30 at 100 yards I can tell you the wind can shift
even the 30 cals out at that distance, it is all physics the lower the energy the more a small amount of input will divert that energy.
a 30 cal PCP makes between 70-80 ft lbs. of energy, a 5.56 puts out 1200-1300 ft lbs. so you are talking almost 20 time the energy.
Not trying to discourage you but keep in mind the challenge of conquerring the wind is the biggest hurtle.
Shooting a target at a hundred yards with a quality airgun is akin to the challenge of shooting 600-1000 with a high power rifle.
Another thing to remember is that in a space the wind is not the same at all points between you and the target.
At any benchrest competition you will see the competitors setting up wind flags at several points between them and the target,
and you can see the wind spinning those flags in different directions along the way. It is very challenging, and that is part of the fun.
Next what pellets are you shooting?
The FX are known for preferring the JSB pellets, to the point that most others will not give results.
Last have you adjusted it?
The Impact like the Crown are very adjustable and need to be tested a long time at the baseline before adjusting for greater energy, etc...
It is easy to loose the baseline setting if they are not written down and only modified a little at a time.
A setting for one pellet, may have horrible results with another. So it takes a lot of work to find a perfect harmony.
I do not know your background so please do not take this as an insult, I am just trying to point out there are a lot of factors that
will go into getting the most out of your Impact.
G thanks man nice to meet you to. Lol I been shooting guns since I was a kid. I'm an accuracy nut biggest reason i dropped 4k getting into this hobby."BigTinBoat"Remember a BIG factor of accuracy is the shooter. Maybe let someone you know, who is a good shooter, try and see how they do.
