If you do that with the sights, your pellets will impact high. Think of it this way, clamp the rifle, without sights, so it cannot move. The rifle will only shoot in one spot. Now add a front sight. The rifle is still shooting in the same spot. You can look through the front sight at many different...

First off, the line of sight through the sights will only change when you change the FRONT SIGHT height. If you leave the front sight alone and add/subtract 2mm on the rear sight, you will just end up clicking the rear sight up/down 2mm. Also, adding risers should not change where the rifle is poin...

A few things to be aware of: You say The ISSF rule says that the front sight should not exceed 60mm height. If you look carefully at rule 7.4.2.7 (c) it reads "from the center of the sight ring or post to center of the bore" Now, 60mm is quite a bit, works out to a touch under 2.5 inches ...

First, to stay within the confines of the rules: The buttplate itself can be no more than 153mm top to bottom. The dish of the buttplate cannot exceed 20m depth. The lowest point of the buttplate can be no lower than 220mm below the centerline of the barrel. The buttplate cannot be offset more than...

Don't let the buttplate construction be a limit. (My buttplate is home made out of two different buttplates.) Perhaps you need to modify it a little to suit you. Have you tried to add some spacers at the upper part of the buttplate? Right. But, isn't it against the ISSF regulation? Can I see a pic ...

How do you keep the butt plate hooked when aiming?

I play 10m air rifle. Recently, I am having a difficulty in keeping the butt plate hooked. When I start aiming and try to relax all my muscles, especially right shoulder and left arm, the butt plate gradually gets out from the shoulder or uncontacted. As a result, I become unable to relax my left ar...

Can rear sight height be higher than front sight?

Like the attached picture, I am thinking of adjust my rear sight higher than the front sight. I wonder if this causes any defect or problems in shooting 10m air rifle. Also, I want to know why both rear and front sight must be at the same height. Is there any 10m air rifle player who has set those t...

stanford University used to have ranges on the order of 25m, but they were for 3-pos .22LR. May be able to be used for 10 m Air.
