I try to rest the stock where I'd place my off hand, military hold, and the butt on a sand bag.
To allow the gun to shoot as accurately as it can, How much tension should I be applying?
From cheek weld, to trigger hand grip, shouldering the butt stock, and off hand on butt stock, etc?
Should I be holding the gun as lightly as possible when shooting from a benchrest? Not so lightly as to allow it to recoil several inches, but not death gripping it either...
I began at 10ft, and walked it back 10 ft or so after I was satisfied at that range. I made zero scope adjustments until 25 yds. At roughly 25 yds, all my shot started going high right.
On bullseye, the grouping is 1", high right. I could use a hold over, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the zeroing in process.
Or am I asking too much from this air gun, while being used to firearms type of results? E.g. pellet accuracy...
Thank you all in advance.
