Try a heavier pellet. That thing has enough energy to really throw 18-25 grain pellets out there. The BC for the heavier pellets should be better too..Glad cocking it is not a chore, or your really in shape...-Y
What kind of accuracy are you getting?
Just picked up one myself last week.everything with mind ,same as yours. i noticed that you have sling swivels on yours.did it come with the gun. my gun also shoots high,and my sight has bottomed out. i will get some heavier pellets ,should correct this. so far a very good gun for the money.hope it stays that way.good luck with yours.
