SHIPPING TO INDIA… I can do it for you! October 13, 2008
First of all be sure to join the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI)- takes about a month. Second, obtain a Letter of Authorization from your Customs Authorities for the air rifle or air pistol that you would like to import. .177 caliber air guns are legal to import into India- any caliber above .177 is [...]

The number of shots in a group affects the size: September 7, 2008
When the only person you have to please is yourself, shoot whatever number of shots you want, but a test report with groups of less than five shots is suspect, to say the least. I have recently shot some 10-shot groups at 50 yards with a Ruger 10/22 rifle I’m testing. Eight of the 10 [...]

The number of shots in a group affects the size: September 4, 2008
On the other hand, a 10-shot group will be about 40 percent larger than a five-shot group from the same gun. Whenever the accuracy of a gun is being measured, 10-shot groups are considered the standard measurement tool, though few shooters, including yours truly, ever invest the time and effort to shoot them… Dirt E.

The number of shots in a group affects the size: August 31, 2008
There’s a secret to shooting small groups. Simply shoot fewer shots. A three-shot group looks pretty convincing, and it is 60 percent easier to shoot than a five-shot group of the same size. A two-shot group is even easier and some shooters are so eager for bragging rights that they will settle for two close [...]

What accuracy is possible with an airgun? August 28, 2008
When the distance is stretched to 100 yards, the bragging group size is one inch. And, such groups have been shot, but they are even more rare than half-inch groups at 50 yards. The longer a pellet takes to fly to its target the more wind will influence it. I would rate a one-inch 100-yard [...]

What accuracy is possible with an airgun? August 27, 2008
If 50-yard five-shot groups of one-half inch are possible, it stands to reason that there will be even better groups from time to time. Indeed, quarter-inch groups at 50 yards are not unknown. They happen with the same frequency as holes-in-one in golf or 300 scores in bowling…. Dirt E. Harry [...]

What accuracy is possible with an airgun? August 20, 2008
You may read discussions about half-inch groups at 50 yards and they may sound easy, but they’re not. A half-inch five-shot group at 50 yards with an air rifle is the shooting equivalent of a par hole in golf or a bowling score of greater than 240. Everyone loves to talk about such things, but [...]

What accuracy is possible with an airgun? August 16, 2008
What accuracy is possible with an airgun? August 16, 2008 As the range increases, so does the group size for all airguns. At 50 yards, a 10-meter target rifle will be shooting a group of three-quarters of an inch to one inch, while a top-quality sporting rifle like the AirForce Talon SS can shoot a half-inch [...]
