.177 CFX Accuracy
« on: June 10, 2007, 03:04:03 PM »
I moved my Leepers Bug Buster back on the mounting rails and had to re-zero the scope. I drilled out the last stop hole so that the rear ring pin would fit the hole which comes smaller that the other holes in the rail. This particular gun loves JSB Predators, too bad as they are expensive. It shoot RWS SuperDomes well also. Attached are the final two targets of the day, both 5 shots at 10 yards. I think I need a CFX in .22 also!!!

Mike, one thing I have noticed is that we all shoot better on a particular type of target; for me it is the Gamo targets that fit their cone traps. I often have 5 or six different types of targets on my bench and am always amazed that I can shift my aim 12" to one side or the other and have very different groupings. I also have seen my impact point shift using animal image targets, might be that we alter our point of aim without knowing about it due to some thought about where the pellet ought to strike even though we think we are aiming right at the center of the image. By the way, I have lots of targets I have not posted that are pretty poor examples of marksmanship. Today was a good day on the bench and the CFX is a great gun for the money.

Hi Bob,



Real good shootin there ! Couldn't ask for a better groups.



It seems that there is a lot of interest in the CFX in 22 cal. lately, better hurry, Charlie says that there will be only 150 available. See his Post below. So you better hurry up and place your order !

But I know what you mean about targets, I also have my favorites, I doesn't make sense to me ??



Order that CFX in 22 if you really want one !

Great shooting Bob.. Looks like you were on the money that day..:) I was out yesterday shooting my S1K .177 and could not hit squat..:) As you mentioned, I could zero in on one bulls great but every time I moved to another bull, I had a heck of a time getting it close. This is a problem I have had since my first air rifle. I think basically it is positioning and aim. I fingered out what I was doing and I always have to concentrate more after the first bulls..:) I know it is not the scope adjustment, cause the pellets always group fine but not always on the bulls.. It is a matter of concentration and practice, I guess. And the real strange thing is that it is worse with different air rifles..:) Always a challenge and it is wonderful..:) I rarely ever get frustrated because I just pick up another gun and shoot it for a while..:)
Gotta love this sport..:)

I think that part of the reason for the POI shift, is that shifting aim to one side or the other, for another bull, we do not hold the rifle the same as before. Just a slight change in hold, 1/4" high or low with on shoulder, or a diff spot on the comb, will change POI. You can still get a good group, if you keep the same hold for that bull, but when you go to another bull ,if hold shifts, POI will also shift. If that makes since. I can also shoot at single bull targets better and that is the only reason I can come up for it.

Exactly it I think Mike.... :) Cause when I put up a single target and zero in my scope, and then put another single target up, I can achieve clover leafs all day long as long as  I us a single target.. But if I put up a six bull target I really have to bare down to hit the bulls on each one of them every time...:) Useually when I change to the next bull it take one or two shots before I am on center again. So just a little shipt of position makes all the difference.. Ya know when I am standing and shooting up against something I can usually hit anything I want on the first try, but sitting at bench rest and shooting at a stationary target and moveing to each bull, really wacks me... hehe

I'm glad that somebody thought it made since,hehe. What makes me mad is when I'm punchin paper and a nutter runs out, stops 3' from my target, shift POA over to keep him out of my pecan trees and clean miss  :emoticon:. So I couldn't figure out why, until I came up with that, to make myself feel better. :emoticon:  The more I think about it tho, thats about all it could be, because the next shot will be right where its supposed to be.
