They might sound like a lot of work till you realize you only need 3-4 pumps for plinking.

So I sighted my gun in yesterday with CPHP's at 10 yds on 3 pumps and got this
Today I extended the distance out 10 more feet
And got this s top group
So I bumped it up to 4 pumps and got the bottom group.
I'm kind of thinking 3 pumps simply wasn't enough to keep the pellet stable at this distance considerering that all it took was one extra pump to get a tight 12:00 group.
I've never experienced this before and thought it was interesting.

The first time I hit it, I missed. The second time I hit it in the same place.

Not sure if it's a common occurrence, but it definitely opened my eyes to a potential issue that apparently exists.

I've been pretty pleased with the accuracy I've been getting.
It's funny to think of seeing much better groups with peeps than I was with a scope, but I'm just a backyard plinker who can't really take advantage of a scope and the parallax was killing me I guess.
