Decided to put a few pellets through my Crosman Nitro Venom .22 since I haven't shot it in a while. And I had a cantaloupe going bad sitting on the counter top. Aiming for the stem base since it was the most obvious bullseye. At about 20 yards.
Still groups pretty well. Placed a couple of strays on purpose. Just to make sure I wasn't getting any flyers. Cause after a few shots I couldn't tell if I was just hitting the same spot or widely missing.
Bad fruit is always fun for target practice.

Looks like great shooting to me.
This was a combination of shooting off hand and leaning down using the arm of a deck chair as a rest. You can see I have a tendency to pull to the right. The trigger is smooth but the break is a little heavier than I would like. The 4 of the 5 shots through the bullseye were from the rest. The low flier I had was also from the rest. If I don't wrap my thumb around the back of the grip I shoot better from the rest, but I'm getting too much muzzle wandering when I do that off hand. Going to have to research what I can to to improve the brake of the trigger. It has a two stage adjustable trigger, I just have no idea what adjusting it does.
