I was doing a little shooting this weekend with my two springers. I had just received a new batch of pellets in .177 and wanted to see how they faired. I noticed I was getting a few flyers here and there, not what I wanted, I was after almost perfection. I wanted to take the 0.10 challenge and put all to shame! But damn, just couldn’t group like I wanted.
Then I figured, what the hell, gonna grab them guns like I mean it, ain’t got nothing to loose. WOW! I really was surprised with my results! Both guns where grouping VERY consistently. Now, these groups where not going to put anyone to shame, but, there where NO flyers. Matter of fact, I think that if it wasn’t for my sorry ass shaking like a leaf in Autumn, I may have had single hole groups all the way around.
So, I’m rethinking this Artillery hold thing. All shooting was one on the bench, resting gun on sand bag (artillery) or resting hand on sand bag, while gripping gun.
More testing to come. Will see.
