I find that hard to believe. Not that you couldn't do it, but that the Crosman could reach that far with anything even vaguely resembling consistency. So I picked up another phantom but this one is in .177. I took it apart and did a quick deburring but when I was working on the piston I accidentally polished off about 2" from the end I put on a GRT III, a couple of washers under the tophat and headed into the bush. One holer to 15 yards with chph's from the tin. Out to 50 yards could hit a 1 kg coffee (5" X 7" ) can every shot. At 75 paces could hit the same can but the inconsistancies in the pellets were the major draw back to accuracy. When my order of pellets comes back in I'll head back out and put some cans out to 100 yards. This is with open sights, unbenched and shooting from the inside of my truck in a seated position. 75 paces I've got a better idea. Since I'm going out into the bush again today I'll bring the same gun, pellets and cans except this time I'll stretch it out to 100 yards. This time the measuring wheel will make it. Its raining pretty good but I'll use a rest this time and see what happens. _________________ "Comfort in the known prevents us from discovering the unknown" - Jed Davis   Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 10:42 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Put the can on a stick and you won't have to keep running back and forth when you blast it off the rock. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 11:57 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Do a 109 yards and you'll also convince Europe! _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 2:52 pm BCSteel Member Joined: 14 Sep 2007 Posts: 88 Location: Sitting in Front of my Computer A measured 100 yards. The can is at the top of the vertical cardboard against the slash pile with the can on top as the POA. First 10 shots. Sitting from the back of my truck, elbows rested on knees. Next 10 shots from the same spot but I made a sturdier rest from a sleeping bag and a gold pan in the back of my truck. Again from a sitting position. I took a short movie of 10 shots. 6 hits, 4 misses. I'll post that up too when its done uploading. _________________ "Comfort in the known prevents us from discovering the unknown" - Jed Davis   Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 6:20 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Not bad at all. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 9:23 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA What would you estimate the wind conditions to be? _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 11:45 am BCSteel Member Joined: 14 Sep 2007 Posts: 88 Location: Sitting in Front of my Computer Slavia wrote: What would you estimate the wind conditions to be? Light and variable but building. Was also raining by the time I got to actually putting some shots down range. I think with some decent pellets and a solid rest that I should be able to shrink that pattern considerably. If you take out the 4 highest shots and the one low/left shot, its really not that bad of a group if the conditions and poor pellets are added to the equation. 2 of those high shots and the low one were unrested and the other 2 high ones I called high when I took the shot as the gun but was not rested right into my shoulder and the gun jumped noticably upwards on the two shots. That can is 5"x7" so if you exclude the 5 flinch shots it falls pretty much into a 9"x9" square, just like I originally posted. Heres the vid too. I nail the first shot, miss the next 3 but go 5 for 6 at the end. http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/BCSteel/Air%20Guns/?action=view&current=100yardphantom.flv _________________ "Comfort in the known prevents us from discovering the unknown" - Jed Davis   Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2008 8:29 pm BCSteel Member Joined: 14 Sep 2007 Posts: 88 Location: Sitting in Front of my Computer Ok, here it is, just for broommaster2000 100 Meters with boxed cpl's. 109 yards First 16 shots @ 109. Was supposed to be 15 but I lost count 10 shots with the sleeping bag and gold pan rest. You can see the 3 shots on the right where I punched the trigger And a final group from a qb78 in .22 doing somewhere around 500 fps @ 109 yards with boxed cp's _________________ "Comfort in the known prevents us from discovering the unknown" - Jed Davis   Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2008 4:33 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands And this is what a 100 meter group looks like when shot from an Airwolf. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2008 9:59 am BCSteel Member Joined: 14 Sep 2007 Posts: 88 Location: Sitting in Front of my Computer Those calipers are enormous! 14.67 feet?!!? _________________ "Comfort in the known prevents us from discovering the unknown" - Jed Davis   Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2008 11:04 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Europe? _________________ BIG GAP 100 Meter Airguns     Air Gun Home Forum Index » General Air Gun Questions and Topics You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 3 of 3   Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3 All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
