At my raw beginner level I will go with a Daisy 747 since it is made in the USA (i think) and it sounds like it is at least a decent gun. After a while I might upgrade but I am sure that the Daisy will meet my needs for a while and it is probably a better fit for target shooting vs. the Crosman 1377...

Actually the numbers are just in the order that I recorded them. I shoot ten shots at the target then when I record the shots I simply look at the target and record the best shot, next best, next, and so on. This works well since I don't have a I don't walk up range to check the target between shoot...

Thanks!

Grip and trigger control seem to be my main problem. Your 100% correct that as I pull the trigger there is a big jump so clearly that is a big part of my problem.

This information is helping but I am sure it is not a substitute for the question/answer interactions I will hopefully get here and hopefully at some point with a club or coach (Raleigh, NC). One area w...

I am very excited about the IHZ but for now it is out of stock at all the resellers so for a while I will use the Crosman 1377c until the IHZ becomes more available. I also bought some targets. The ones I got are made by GAMO and look similar to the ones described on the Air Pistol sites I have seen...

Thanks! I plan to order the IZH. I was using 20ft because my garage is a big small but when I get the IZH I will be able to setup an honest 10m range using the length of the garage and leaving the door to the house open so standing in the house I can shoot into the garage and make it all work out. T...

I have a Crosman 1377. This is my first gun of any kind so I am just getting a sense of things. With the cro...
