Webley Tempest .22 Air Pistol : Sighting was a bit of a challenge for the distance. The rear sight set all the way to it's top end. The left and right sighting not an issue. Of the 5 shots fired 4 hit within rings 5-9. At 106 feet from muzzle to target I think that this was very exceptional. I found only one ammo type consistant to accomplish this, which was the Crosman .117 Lead Point. It is there basic pointed pellet, not the premier. In fact it is one of six types in there Copperhead Six Pack (Airgun Shot - Glacier). I shot many different brands and weights of Pellets. The full diameter of the target was 6 inches with each ring 1/2 inches thick. To place this in some perspective for those who talk in yards and meters the conversion of 106 feet in yards is equal to 35.3333333...and in Meters it equals 32.31. If I can group at that distance 5 (one being a pulled shot) of 4 shots within a four inch diameter then those shooting 10 meter, 6 meter and 25 feet should be able to hit consistant bulls.
