practice,practice,practice is what it takes for good 100yd shooting with an airgun.
thanks for the info,I am no stranger to an airgun i had them as a child,where do you think i learned how to shoot 😛 I aquite alot of my shooting abilities to using my old daisy 880 powerline ,damn i used that thing to death back in the earlie 80s,killed about anything that moved with that,I just also sold my model 48 RWS 177 this is my first 22 cal.I have hunted my whole life enjoy it,I have 4 state record holder bucks here in ohio,and medals from the USMC for shooting,ok nuff said not bragging jus facts about me ,myself and I.where the hell is the newby pat of this formn?lol…thanks for the good info guys by the way I have crossman hollow points thats what i received with the AF.regards RC
Your handle here is “the marine” and you’re asking these kind of questions?
Guess it’s time to say “Go Navy!”

lol ..it aint no damn AR15,I have a DCM model and I am quite effective with one, 😉 I asked these questions to find out ,I just received the ss yesterday,up to that point had never even held one let alone shoot one,just wanted to get a feel for what others have done,I just figured a longer barrel would be a better choice at a distance,i have done some reading on here and figured it would be easier to just ask ,I did shoot it yesterday cold here in OHIO,3rd shot at 30 yrds was in the eye… the guns shoot very nice,would like to see a few things quiter,the slide for one,and not crazy about how stiff the saftey and trigger is,hope they all loosen up after some usage, will say that damn pump is a pain the first you fill it.again thanks for some insite…ps Buzzcat I aint guarding your navy butt no more..lmao
you’ll be surprised how well the little 12″ barrel can do at 100yds. I’d say start by getting some quality domed pellets ie jsb or kodiac (jsb probably a little better considering the velocity of the TSS) and spend enough time shooting that range to become familiar with the gun, trajectory, and wind estimation. The biggest advantage of the longer barrel is velocity, which flattens trajectory and makes holdover/ranging less critical but overall accuracy potential is about the same.
practice,practice,practice is what it takes for good 100yd shooting with an airgun.
Why don’t you shoot to 100 yards with what you’ve got, and adjust accordingly.

Put a 22 cal 24″ barrel on it and try Kodiaks if you want any success at 100 yards, but that’s a long way. Shroud if you think needed, the 24″ is loud without it.
Have a stock TSS in .22 with baffles in the frame that surprised me how accurate it was at a 100 yards with Meisterkugen 14 gr pellets. Unless your wanting to shoot game out at a 100 yards using a heavier pellet you probably do not need to do anything to it, but break it in. For a heavier pellet out to a hundred yards an 18 inch barrel with a frame extender would be the first step I would take.

I am a former Marine myself, member of base shooting team, shot Eastern Div matches etc. Yoru shooting background will be an asset, I was more sharing how your setup will work well as is than presuming you to be a new shooter. Airgun shooting at 100yds, especially with the 12″ barrel is closely similar to shooting a 5.56 AR at 500 yds when it comes to the importance of reading the wind and estimating range. Just a few yards off in distance is enough to result in a missed target; it is a bit different type of shooting hence the practice comment, not inferring that you coudn’t shoot in general. Quality pellets make a big difference too.
