Vulcan 100 yds...Amazed me today

I purchased my Vulcan 25 cal a few weeks ago in June. I've gone through a little over 700 pellets since and the gun has amazed me with its performance. I've been hunting and shooting since my childhood and got re-introduced to air guns about 12 months ago. Purchased a springer in February and shot it often and upon learning from various forums the accuracy of PCP's....well I took the plunge and WOW. Anyway here is my target from today as I stretched the Vulcan out to 100 yards.

The manometer shows 180 bar and I'm using Air Arms 25.4 grain Diabolo Field pellets, shooting from prone position using Harris Bipod. First shot to lower right of the card board using 50 clicks of elevation on the Hawke sidewinder 4026 6.5 x 20 half mildot scope. Adjusted scope 8 more clicks and let go shots 2, 3, 4 and 5, there is a 5 to 7 mph wind at 90 degrees. Point of Aim (POA) is the bull and the shots drifted right of bull as you can see. Started holding to the left of bull 1/2 mildot and let go shots 6,7,8, which landed just above the bull's eye. Last and final shot number 9 screwed things up....I guess the wind let off or I just pulled it...$%#@!



Shots 2, 3, 4 and 5... 1 inch CTC not a bad group at 100yards.



Shots 6,7,8.... 1/2 inch CTC and I Likie that!!

Having a blast with the Vulcan 25



 
If you had not changed your POA you would have had a one inch 7 shot group.
The opposite to bullets diabolo pellets rise and print to the right in a 9.00 oclock wind. Bullets go down and right..
Your shots 6,7,8 were shot when the wind was at its average strength and would have landed in the middle of the other four for a one inch group.
Your highest shots were when the wind was strongest. Lowest shots were in less strong wind.
If you get or make some wind indicators you will soon be seeing some really tight groups.
There is always something to learn fro group shooting.
Kind regards, Harry in OZ.
