BACKYARD BALLISTICS: .177 and .22 stuff

You can get some good ideas from reader suggestions. Back in Nov., I came out with my original video on my ole Daisy 880. First off, I just liked the air rifle, but didn't have a clue it has such a loyal following. Now I count myself as a Daisy 880 fan. I have three now. One of the viewers of the original video, had all sorts of great information, but one that stuck out as a possible future video was testing the Daisy Flat nosed pellet against the more common Daisy Premier Pointed pellet. The reader said the Flat nose was more accurate. Turns out the Daisy 880 shoots them both so accurate at 12 yards, my normal backyard set-up, the results were only marginally different.....this air rifle is Too Easy? So to get it further back I needed to be creative. The additional three yards needed to get to 15 yards was back to furthest corner of the shed from the target and shoot at a diagonal angle. The challenge here is to be careful shooting through the door, as the shooting lane narrows a lot, given the angle. To get to 20 yards....that's a different story. You'll just have to watch. At 20 yards I used Daisy breakable 2 inch target disks for explosive results. Lots of whack, whomps bings, a cracks heard in this one!
