Hi guys im going to do some pellet testing using my tuned Gamo Compact but want to know what is the ideal distance for testing, I have heard 6 yds is fine for testing, or is it best to test at the distance yr going to compete at, would appreciate any feedback.

From practical experience, we have found that the sights are the same for both 6 Yard and 10m.

That said, errors will be amplified over a longer distance, so I would use 10m.

Kind regards,

Hi Phil thanks for the helpful advice, the wind has been a nightmare to try and get an accurate reading so hopefully will try again this week ,

Might be wise to run a bench rest test, just to help reduce the human error element.

Kind regards,

Thanks Phil will do a bench rest test so I can get it as accurate as possible, then at least when I know the pellets are shooting where they should then I know it will be down to human error then.
