what do you consider accurate?
for airguns that is
when people say this pellet or that one isnt accurate
what do you mean
to me accurate is hitting 1.5-2 inchs at 50 yds
i hunt and my guns are used for hunting
if i was a benchrest gun ill grab my .22 lr and get single holes at 50
but i like the airguns for hunting and if i can hit max 2 inch at 50 im happy
at 100 id say prolly 3to3-1/4 inches
im only gonna shoot at a crow or pidgeon at that range
its hit or mis basically

I’m a precision freak. Anything over 1″ @ 50 is too much for me. Explains why I sold my springers……

I don’t see the diff between hunting and target shooting…Either it is
accurate or not…..Of the 2, if I had to pick 1, I would think accuracy
would be more important if you were hunting. If the gun or pellets you
are shooting has a group of 2″ at 50 yds then you need to shoot
something else or shoot it at a max of about 20yds.. 2″ at 100yds is
questionable…To me accuracy is sub 1″ @ 100yds or max one hole 1/4-
3/8″ at 30yds. Now if the gun and pellet combo shoots 1/4″ groups at
100yds but the shooter shoots 4″ groups then it doesn’t really matter.
Sometimes it is hard to tell which one of the three are causing the
inaccuracy.
