I get better accuracy if I firmly hold the rifle with my forehand.
If I leave the front of the rifle rested only, I do not get any reliable accuracy.

What is your standard for accuracy?
Thinking long on that just seems im never fully satisfied. No matter how good a gun is at it there always that one little thing somewhere , somehow.

Problem with that is many will doubt anything you post. I could easily post a target from a 103 yards where 5 shots are in a 3/4" group.
Or a Whistle pig hit with one shot at 90 yards with a .30 Evanix.
Also have pics of 5 Trash Pandas dropped one after the other at 25 yards in just a minute!
Gave up trying to convice people online how I can shoot.
Many have seen me shoot in person. There was at one time people that wished I couldn't shoot so well.
Thier families also wish that I'm sure.

I share with you the link on this forum of some of my hunting videos.
There you will be able to see that shooting while hunting is VERY different activity than shooting to paper targets resting in a bench.
Some hunting videos.
New platform allows to upload the videos. I will share my hunting videos. Do not expect perfection !!!

I don't doubt you Mate. One thing I found over the years is that few AirGunners fake stuff.
Thiose that do get found out pretty quickly.

Are there any airgun hunters on AGN whose standard for accuracy isn’t “dead” (as in a humane death)?

This was my first attempt at 100 yards. The wind was coming from the right 5-10 mph and gusts from the rear also. The only group I actually waited for the wind gusts to ease up is the center. The other groups are one 5 shot group and 3 three shot groups. I was expecting 6" groups with the wind but I was happy smaller with groups. I was wanting to try some heavier 21g pellets and some slugs but didn't want to fight the increasing wind for small groups. I can't wait to try it again when this weather gets better. I have hope I will get some moa groups.
I used 18g AA branded pellets , for the target . The target has one inch squares.

If it's a Whistle Pig? I call them dead even if they make it to the Den!
Yeah. I did that just a few days ago. 85 yard shot and it went under the shed.
I checked with the owners today and they said they have not seen it again.
Did what I was asked to do. Kill the whistle pig! Body recovery was not part of the deal.
I don't agree or follow that 'Humane' kill stuff.
A kill is a kill.

This may sound stupid, but basically my standard is whether the rifle is capable of consistently hitting the target. So, a 20 yard plinker is a very different standard than a 50-100 yard BR rifle. I have my .177 HW100 tuned down to under 12 fpe. It's a great yard gun, will shoot one-hole groups at 20 yards, and is good for squirrels at 35 yards. But its accuracy would be totally inadequate for 50 yard target work, with most 10 rings a gift of luck.

Mine is 'minute of squirrel' at 100 yards, so far the little buggers have been safe but that may be changing soon.

Been in them boots. Hit a pest and no recovery. But shot placement was spot on/the sound of impact/reaction of pest proved my accuracy once the pest was found 3 weeks later under a wood pile; blow dart still intact/went in left side, hit the heart and was lodged in a rib on the right inside.
Same with pellets. Hit a pest solid in a KZ. No recovery. Found later/never ever return.
All kills in my book

You know what they say about sticks and stones.. then all ridicule does is make me try harder to throw it back at'em. ..lol
I dont mind posting my range pictures but my camera stinks . But still....

Maybe when i get it all set back southward ill take another..fresh.
Anyway i make a decent try i post it to share call it as you want . In the end who are you to me anyway ..lol..

A circle that just encompasses the POI of all the shots is the group size. That size isn’t really the accuracy because it ignores the POA.
SD of the POI to POA distance (measured individually) for all shots in the group is what determines accuracy for me.
Some of the accuracy comes from the equipment, and some from the shooter.
I shoot mainly in competition. The standard of accuracy that is acceptable might be what’s needed to have a reasonable chance to place/win in a particular competition. Or sometimes, I must accept the accuracy that I have and just enjoy the competition.
