i found the r9 to be very accurate. a little small for me, i didn't keep it long.
(that's a 10M target, but shot at 25Y)

Been working on bottom right only and still pull them..lol. Somthing about that area just fools my eyes. Even at any yardage it seems the right side gives me fits.. i guess i could cheat and shoot left and middle then flip the card and put the right targets on the left side ..lol..
Ya, the r9 aint bad i guess.. maybe i can get more then 6 months out of this spring last put in it ..

Not bad .. id not complain....
( Edit).
So just for fun i just ran out set up a dime size bulls at 25y and shot (at) it. Still sighted at 10m and a 15+ right to left crosswind cphp stock open sight.

Thats how it is the scope also sermed to make the gun shake loose alot . Stopped scoping and hardly ever got loose screws any more , no loctite, spring lasts longer, ect... Ya, the open sight is a nice challange. Ive always preferred that..
These guns can do it nicely . Folks just dont give it a chance. I just wish i could get a better pellet around here .. me and mail-order just dont get along.. aka the lemon king..lol

I got to thinking and i joke about being " hold lazy". So for a couple of fays i just went back to the basics and fun-D- mentles. Hold , trigger, anticipation, follow through..
Not to say its great but sure cut my wiffs down. Now i figure in bad shots , shanks, fliers, the mote pellets i get in a better shot kinda saves money in wasted pellets on that on to good more satisfying shoys..lol I'm sure though I'll be going lazy sooner or later and need retraining again
5,5@10... r9,.177cphp, stock irons.
