Some very good tips here, One thing I do to verify my shot alignment, is hold the gun on position, then look away from the scope then back into it , do the cross hairs / sights stay on target when you settle back into your aiming position, if not adjust your body to ling the shot better and try again.
Thanks for the tips, Marty!I was curious if all your pumpers can shoot those 200 scores, or if you have any that simply are not that accurate?
Be careful if you abort a shot.If you pulled the trigger in any amount, the sear likely is still in that partially pulled position.This makes it easy to have an accidental discharge.
only a few months back another poster here made a comment about reseating the bag and airgun inline with the new Target, instead of pivoting the rifle

The same principle. Works very well.I set up the target as you see it in the pic (horizontal). I line up for my first series of bulls on the right side of the target, pretty much in line with the first 2 verticle rows so that pivot is kept to a minumum & move left from there, lining up for the next two rows, etc.

Only the trigger finger is removed. A few controlled deep breaths & realign for a shot.
... when the mind set just isn’t there & rather than waste pellets & ink, I set aside the rifle for another day.

Also, had the same problem when shooting competitive archery.Great tips!Jim
