Many thanks to everyone who took time to reply and make suggestions. I've been mucking about for the last couple of weeks and think I can draw a few conclusions.

Fritz,

Just noticed you're in Jersey outside of Philly. Back in the mid '80s we lived in Blackwood. Interesting place, Jersey, and not at all what people think. I' in NH now and REALLY miss all ...

Over the last couple of days I've been running off 10 shot sets at a 25 yard target, open site. First day was my home built bench on a rolled up towel and I got about a 6" grouping. Second day ...

Slavia,

Thank you, awesome reply.

In NH, you can't get a license without taking the safety course. I took it last summer and had a great time. Passed the course, got my ticket, never saw a dee ...

Fritz,

I got the 8" number from any number of people, including the state hunter safety instructors. It refers not to the ability of the gun or the hunter to pump shots into a particular size ...

I have been doing most of my shooting from a bench on a pile of rolled up towels with a bit of offhand shooting.

One of the nice things about shooting in the woods around here is that there are LOT ...

Fritz,

Understood. As a relatively new gunner, it's my intent to be as proficient as possible and, at the same time, not put myself into the poor house buying .270 shells.

I subscribe to a Hu ...

Kanyon,

'Hold the gun with out holding it'

How very Zen. Love it!

Thanks for the tip on bench sighting vs offhand. I wouldn't have expected there to be a difference so thanks for the info. ...

Thanks. I'll look around for the suggested pellets.

I'm glad you said what you did about different pellet sizes in the same can; I thought I was doing something wrong when I noticed that some pel ...

Fritz,

Thank you for the reply and suggestions. I especially like your description of the firing cycle; I had no clue the gun went both ways! I'll concentrate on keeping a loose grip on the gun a ...

Took the scope off and shot at a target about 10 yards away and got sub 1 inch groupings.
Moved to 25 yards and was keeping most shots inside a 2" circle with ...

I'm shooting a Remington Vantage 1200 (first air gun) with the 4x32 scope that comes with the gun. I'm shooting a target at about 25 yards off of a sort of table (*). I seem to be having trouble kee ...
