WHISPER RANGE
« on: May 01, 2009, 09:25:30 AM »
I own a whisper currently getting a turbo tune. My current shooting range is about 15 yards at home. I saw on the back room a 150 yard range. Would my gun be able to hit targets at 150 yard. What I would like to know is if I have my scope dialed in at 15 yard targets, what the farthest distance I can shoot with out adj the scope.

If you know the velocity

with a particular pellet you can use Chairgun to find ideal zero for the ranges you will shooting most often.  I'm learning about this as well and have another post in the Airgun Gate about choosing different zeros.

Seems to me, shooting 150 yards "accurately" with a stock Whisper, even tuned - is asking quite a bit. If you're dialed-in for 15 yards at present, - you're gonna have to do some "serious adjustments" to your scope. In fact I'm not sure you could make that kind of adjustment. ... I don't doubt you could send a pellet out there, but try and find it afterward. Remember - you're talking about shooting 1.50 times the length of a football field - using a (light) pellet. That would be one damn good shot with a .22 cal rifle.

How big is the target?

I saw a .22 repeatedly hit a cowbell at 75 yards, but it probably dropped 6" from the scope aim point. I'd say pushing much beyond 75 yards means you have little velocity, and accuracy limited in many ways. Any wind, your own steadiness, the pellet's ballistics. Welcome to GTA.

Play around, you might be able to hit a soda can at 100 yds. If you do, you are doing as well as I'd expect. If you have an AO scope, you have no choice but to make an adjustment. That part of your question is confusing. You don't tell us anything about the scope...
