So as you all know summer just started so I had for load of extra time.I thought of doing some air gun shooting in these 90 golden days.But sadly,I suck at it.Shot 100 soft metal bullets...got only 48 hits on target.

Definitly want to take wind into account if you're in an outdoor range.

Metal pellets can get thrown off by a slight breeze pretty easy especially at long range.

The soft. Etal pellet goes spinning towards the target so i doubt a littoe breeze would give it much trouble...or does it?  

Trust me, it does.

Pellets and BBs aren't exactly the most aerodynamic projectiles either.

Take their size and mass into prospective. The farther they go, the less accurate they are.

Unless you counter that with increased weight and/or power.

Shooting really isn't just about lining up a shot and pulling the trigger, you've gotta calculate certain things.

Also, I wouldn't start at 200 meters if you feel you're doing this bad.

Definitely wanna start much closer and work your way out further.

Its all about nerf man, they got that trajectory  

If its an outdoor range then there should be some flags or wind socks hanging around somewhere.  

Paintball and airsoft are spray 'n' pray sports, that's pretty much the gist of it.  

Well, I'm sure someone with a more tactical viewpoint is bound to have a better chance at succeeding in the battle.
