Andy has had some trouble bringing his scores up . he has bought a good springer to work on his technique . so i said to him why not try my wifes Steyr as she is not out at this time of year shooting . he said he will give it a try . so today i shot it to zero with my spare lupe . sunday i will mark up the top turret . he knows the ranges to most of the targets so he won't need to range find with a strange scope . just dial up the range on the top turret . we will see how he gets on .

Well that did not work out as andy did not get on with the Steyr ??? HOLLY
Best laid plans, etc.
Its me that has the problem not the Steyr or any other rifle. I am not getting my head in the right same place every time. May get a few in a row then one flys off somewhere either high or low. On the 55 yd board I can get 3-4 shots touching with either my Ripper, the Steyr or the HW97 off the bench in the right conditions, then the flyer appears.
That is the reason for the springer. Go back to basics and learn again. Using a PCP for so long means I have got lazy, so a springer needs to be 'worked' with more so that means getting the basics right, which should then lead to better shooting with a PCP.
Yes I have got older and the right knee is preventing me enjoying kneeler because itjhust does not bend any more. What I need to do is exercise, stretch those leg muscles a bit more and practice shooting rather than everything else I do.
@Andrew Winch I used to put a small pin into the stock of my gc2 . positioned so that it just fitted between my lips . this told me that my head was in exactly the right position each time i took a shot . HOLLY
Send him to Oaktree for a training day.
Strange really . cos andy a few years back was winning things . yes a bit older and a bit more to love so to speak . he cannot do kneelers but even so to be in the low twenties consistently is not right . he should be hovering around thirty at least . he has got a 97 with a venom kit in it . and is going back to basics . says he will do the GPs with it . PS will send him to Oaktree Simon as long as you promise to keep him .
