I shot this last week with my Dad. I had a good time with him. We started out with the Air Venturi Avenger. .22 cal but got frustrated with how the pellets were flying. We need to shoot an assortment to find out what the gun shoots best.
We switched back to the AA s510xs and I was able to shoot this target before the wind picked up.

Good shooting Erick and good shooting John! Wind can really be a factor shooting a light projectile i.e. pellet.
Still working on my TX 200, haven't got my problem solved yet. I've been in contact with Air Venturi expecting a phone call tomorrow from them. I have a friend bringing up a borescope so I can look down the compression tube. This will get solved. The good news is the TX 200 is extremely well-designed air rifle easy to get apart easy to put back together very well engineered.
I've always subscribe to the the idea if it isn't broke don't fix it. Well my TX 200 was not broke and shooting excellent but I had to "fix" it by installing of VORTEC kit. ha ha
