This is great information! Your experience is very impressive. First time I hear of the “1fpe per pound of body weight” rule. I like it - it’s simple and easy to remember. Thank you!
Set up the small set of swinging targets today with a walkway stone behind it...shooting from my patio with 3-5 pumps and it's dang quiet...I'm anxiously awaiting the stock to arrive, but man, it's fun to plink in the backyard. The little .177s flatten right out and don't ricochet. My 22s have little too much oomph sometimes off the the swingers for backyard plinking...I general use a pellet trap, but they hit that pretty hard. For now though, I think I have the perfect (for me) backyard shooter.

Got a chance to shoot my buddy's crosman with the pinty 2moa red dot....yep...tiny dot, and pretty impressive for it's price. For the pistol, it seems like a good match.It all depends on the size of the dot. If you have an 8MOA dot, it is pretty large about 2 inches at 25 yards. If you have a 2MOA dot, then at 25 yards you only have a 1/2 inch dot.
I use a pellet trap so I can make bullets and sinkers with the reclaimed pellets.
Was looking at the Crosman website and was amazed to see this many shipping limitations. Jersey needs a “Airgun permit”? At least Marylinistan isn’t that bad....yet.
It is super easy to take apart....lots of youtube videos that cover it step by step.I haven't modded mine yet but am thinking about a scope mount for it. Forget the maker of it. Held off as you have to take the thing apart to put it on and I wasn't that sure I was into it yet, nor that it was accurate enough for the cost and hassle. I could use an air pistol with a dot on it to help my training and of the ones I have that one does seem the best option if I like it enough.
I have large tin that I haven't opened yet....they are crosman 7.9 grains...I forgot the name....once I'm through this current tin, I will move to those and re zero....Not bad. Have you tried the Premier pellets? I get better accuracy with them than the Destroyer's.
Catfish looks good too!
