My first entry, and I think I picked a bad time to start, as this was a tough target for me personally. Crosman 1077 4x32 Centerpoint scope .177 Daisy Precision Max flatheads ( 7.8gr) 10.3 meters 7 min 17 seconds score 40/140 BOO!! This gun is obv. not for target shooting like this and the pellets I'm using are horible. My scope has a fixed parallex at 30yards and it's totally noticable if you don't have a consistant cheek weld at this close of a distance. Never the less, still fun!   Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2009 5:02 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Hi Fastsc92 welcome to AirGunHome target shooting, don’t worry about your score, with a scope zeroed for 30 yds you did well, I’m surprised you could see the smallest dots. Hopefully I’ll get to shoot tomorrow, snow permitting. Al _________________   Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2009 7:12 pm Fastsc92 Member Joined: 03 Dec 2009 Posts: 13 I re-zeroed for 10meters, but I really had no idea how much parrallex error effects things. This scope was only $28, and it fits the 1077 well for backyard plinking, but I think I should just get me a bug-buster or pretty much anything that has an adjustable objective. For the small dots, I couldn't see them at 4x, I just hoped for the best and aimed for the center. As you can see...it didn't work out too well. Anyhow, I can't wait until the next challenge is posted!   Posted: Sat Dec 19, 2009 6:52 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND This target is difficult, I think we will have an easier one next week.
