mark williams 7,549 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Started a basic zero this afternoon off the Primos shooting sticks to 32 yds and i`ll try to tighten the groupings tomorrow if i can. The outer circles are a 5p coin outline. I will follow up with the HW 100`S ready for the winter months and those spindle branches atb P.S click on the photo lads and it should enlarge (hopefully).

mark williams 7,549 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Lads. (.177 cal`) i will tweak the zero out to 36 yds dead tomorrow, this will give me a pbr of 8.9 yds to 41.1 yds. Basically from 9 yds to 41 yds your pellet "STAYS" within a 1 inch flight path as long as you do your bit with any wind/ breeze. After 41 yds with .177 cal is the only time to "Know your mill dots". I calibrate every 5 yds after 41 yds onto my card for memory but i much prefer to shoot around the 30/ 35 yd mark as much as possible. atb 1 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,549 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Finished the final zero of the T-Rex tonight getting regular groupings to 5p size at 36 yds . I`m looking forward to some good hide work with this springer as i have a lot of confidence with her and the brand new, shiney Primos shooting sticks. atb 1 Quote Link to post

jonnie bravo 572 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Pretty much Phil what he is saying is that if you aim dead on the cross hairs you will hit anything within half an inch with side of the cross hair out to 41yds. I was wondering mark how you found shooting at steep angles with the springer?? As I imagine the weight distribution get's a bit messed up?? 1 Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,549 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Skot one shot asked me this one a while ago. Jonnie i`m old school and when i`m after something like a Magpie say at 40 yds on a steep downward shot that shot i practice. Skot was having trouble with the incline so i said go out to the incline and make a note of the mill dot requirements and place a marker accordingly. It cured his problem and the rabbits were all bagged i believe. Weight does not come into contention in the building of your shot off well set shooting sticks. The sticks (Primos tripod)are a great platform and will aid you in every aspect Jonnie. atb P.S. Phil - Jonnie is quite correct 2 Quote Link to post

big napper 3,559 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Good info that mark, has it got to be 36 yards for the 9 to 41 and is that with all .177 pellet weights. Cheers Quote Link to post
big napper 3,559 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 And is it yards or mtrs mate, thanks Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,549 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Because i`ve had more than two 25th birthdays i work in feet and inches you see .Old school.So yes everything is in yards. BN if you zero to "smack on" 36 yds the "rule of thumb" is 9yds to 41 yds using (8.4 grain) pellets your pellet`s flight path will be within a one inch circle "it is not written in stone", especially using different weighted pellets obviously. atb Quote Link to post
