Hawke HK4026 + Chairgun Pro + TT Talon SS
Equals easy, consistent, repeated hits at 70 yards. I find that pretty amazing for a gun with a 12″ barrel.
While sighting in my new FX Royale 500 for a 50 yard zero yesterday at the range, I brought along my TT Talon SS. The backstop of the range was a steep berm that started at 70yrds as measured with a laser rangefinder. There were several items to plink at – a softball and pill bottle were the most intact.
The farthest I’ve shot my TSS since the upgrades is 35yrds, which is my zero, and it is dead on with Advil sized groups. Using Chairgun Pro on the PC and iPhone, I plugged in my data for 18.13gr JSB Exact Heavies and using a scope turret label I made with the program, I determined that a 2 mildot holdover at 70 yards should put me on target.
1st shot on pill bottle: Hit
1st shot on softball: Hit
My immediate reaction, “This shit just works!”
… and it went on like that. And on…
I kept plinking and as long as I did my part (seated using a Stoney Point Bipod) I was easily able to get repeated hits time after time. At that distance under 20X I could watch the path of the pellet impact my POA.
Not to be outdone by the TSS, using the HK4026 scoped Royale 500 @ 70 yards with a turret tape for reference, a 1 mildot holdover put hits on shotshells with JSB Kings.
If you are using a Hawke scope and you aren’t using Chairgun Pro, you’re missing out. I love that reticle.
For those who doubt the accuracy and pesting capabilities of the TSS at longer distances, according to Chairgun Pro it’s delivering 18.13gr JSB Exact Heavies with 15FPE at 70yrds, more than enough for small game.

Garbage in, garbage out for sure, but when you get it right it’s like magic and ridiculously effective.
I just started using Chairgun Pro on my iPhone for my Condor. As long as you enter good data, it works great. I really like the pellet database, and the incline measurement tool. Now I just need to make some labels for my scope after confirming clicks per inch using Charigun’s built in calculator. Good stuff.

Well said. I struggled with scope height when I first started with Chairgun years ago. Once I plugged in the correct height, everything lined up nicely.
It’ll work for any scope as long as the shooter understand what their particular reticle subtends. 1/2 Mil are nice because you can use the area above center as well. That’s what I’ve been exploring with a centerfire subsonic cartridge I’ve been working with lately. Nikon has a wonder calculator for rimfire and centerfire but not so good for wasp waisted airgun pellets. It’s called Nikon Spot On.
I’ve got a buddy of mine that shoots all his mildot scopes from ranges of 12 to 55 yards with holds over the crosshair. Not intuitive to me but works for him.
