Thanks for you input rmca, I think you could be right about the 2-3 clicks being a score width, probably more like two - but hey, what do I know, I’m a newbie! :-)

Don't have experience with the Gamo Compact but did a little research for you... Pyramyd Air hosts Tom Gaylord's longtime blog of all things airgun. This is the same Gaylord of the turn of the millennium AirGun Newsletter fame. He has reviewed the Gamo Compact at least twice in the last 15 years, a...

I’d rather, if possible, have a definitive answer from someone who knows the answer! Common guys!

Thanks Brent, that does sound somewhat easier!
No it’s not listed in the manual :-(

Thanks Brent.

Thanks Brent, that’s a comprehensive and helpful reply. Would I need to fix the gun in a vice to do this, do you think?

Hey everyone, I’ve been shooting my Gamo Compact for 4 months now, and I’m making good progress at 10m. Question: does anyone know how much movement at the target, one click of windage will make? Cheers.

Thanks Rover, they are the kind I’m getting.

Thanks for your insights rmca, they make for good reading. I’ve just ordered some stick on weights, which I may or may not use now, in light of what you said about them. I’ve had some joy in reducing the contact surfaces of the sears, by replacing the screw under the trigger with a longer one: trigg...

As a matter of interest rmca, I noticed you added some weight to your Gamo Compact, would you mind telling me where and how much weight, and more importantly, did it improve you score/group sizes? Thank you.

Thanks rmca for the info’ about pellet speed, that’s worth knowing.
I had a look at the link you gave - very interesting it was too, will be even more so if I buy an LP10!

Thanks Rover, that sounds like good advice, I’ll count up at the end of shooting from now on. Thanks for advice on pellets too: I’m getting good holes using Kruger targets and RWS Basic’s, which are 7gr, and cheap!

Haha, yes I’ve done it both ways: added up after each card and also added up the cards at the end. Adding up after each card is definitely more challenging! Can I ask did you play around with different pellets with your Gamo Compact, as I’ve just read a review on Pyramid Air, which gave Gamo Match p...

Appreciate your input Thirdwheel, I’ll check out the options you mentioned, although I’m pretty sure buying one through a club member is my preferred route now. I’m about an hours drive to my nearest club which is in Warrington: thanks though for offering the use of your club.

Buying from a club member seems like the way to go - able to try it out, person to person purchase etc. Likely the best option, all I need now is to join a club! I’ll check out Egun too, thanks again rmca for your great advice. I’m hoping to crack 500 this weekend for the first time on my monthly 60...

Thanks rmca, I appreciate your wisdom. Best place(s) to look for such pistols, would you say (if at all your in the UK).

Thanks Rover for your reply, I know your an experienced shooter, so appreciate your input.

Thanks rmca for your reply, it’s great to hear about peoples real world experiences with the Gamo Compact - it really is helpful and encouraging. I’m new into the sport of 10m AP, so I need to be sure I’m going to stick at it before I fork out a considerable sum on another pistol: although I am havi...

Thanks for your reply, it’s interesting the journey you’ve made. I’m dreaming of getting 526 at the moment! I was hoping to get the Compact up to about 540 (my increased skill permitting) before I upgraded (thinking of a Walther LP500 or Styer LP2, or even a Hammerli AP20 Pro, although I’m not sure ...

Hey everyone, interested to know what fellow Gamo compact owners bought after realising they needed to upgrade. Also, what sort of scores out of 600 they achieved with their Compacts before they did upgrade.
