Target Shooting

most are in rough shape, so usually 65$-120$

trap shooting is done at ranges of 16 to 27 yards

full is the standard choke though improved cylinder will work from the 16to20 and mod from 21 to 27 the downside of more open chokes is less pattern density and the larger patterns hide your mistakes. the upside is if you are a newby the more forgiving pattern will help you get a few targets and build some confidence

Try different shots at different yardages with different chokes to find out which one works best and gives you the best patterns at about 10 to 30 yards, knowing the gun is key, don't go by other people every gun is different and so is the shooter

safe yes, smart no.

Usually between $5 to $10.

Feet per second, referring to how fast a BB pellet travels.

I'm not quite sure about the 3006, but I know that the longest recorded kill shot with a .308 was at about one and a half miles, possibly more.

i would rather go to laser tag porfetional.

Yes, the Remington ShurShot stock is designed to fit Remington 870 models, including the 20-gauge version. However, it's important to ensure that the specific ShurShot stock you are considering is compatible with the 20-gauge model, as there can be variations in fit between different gauges. Always check the product specifications or consult with a knowledgeable retailer to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

Whatever your favorite shotgun is. Personally i have an over-under 12-gauge shotgun with a 29 inch barrel. Works well for duck hunting as well.

For pistol slow-fire, the proper target is the B16.

20 in X 30 in

There is no caliber designated 7.62x55. There is a 6.5x55 and several other calibers that are close.

7.62x54R (rimmed) cartridge, used in the Mosin-Nagant and other Russian-designed rifles.

7.62x51, better known as 7.62 NATO, or .308 Winchester

7.65x53, better known as 7.65 Argentine Mauser

You have blown seals or O-Rings. The rifle was made from 1975 to 1982. Crosman no longer makes parts for this airgun. BUT they offer a service to locate repair shops that repair the rifle. See the link Below.

But first consider this. IF the rifle was in working order AND it was in perfect shape it would be worth around $50 to $60. Is it worth repairing? It would cost you almost that much to have it repaired. Today you can purchase a brand new Crosman 2100 ( almost Identical to your old 766 ) for $60 through "Pyramyd air" See the link below.

It's up to you.

This means the weight of the bullet itself. A common misunderstanding is that the higher the grain the better. Which is not true. A larger grain is slower than a smaller grain. Find which grain of bullet shoots the most accurate out of your gun. There are 7,000 grains to a pound.

This is kinda a trickey one to answer. It depends largely on where in the country you're located. I've seen these guns range from 450-650 in good condition

Only use the caliber designed for that particular gun unless you want the gun to blow back into your face. It is never safe to interchange ammunition not specific to the caliber of weapon you use.

Whatever you're comfortable spending on it. If you don't feel comfortable spending more than $200, than stick within those parameters. If you have a bit of extra cash to spare, and want an AR-styled plinker or one of the offerings from GSG, then it would suit you to spend the $500 or so. That's really a question only you can answer.

It depends on the competition regulations but typically it will be: 25ft or 50ft from the shooter to the target

Very small indeed, a single .22LR bullet is probably no bigger than an inch and a half

no

You are looking for the "sight picture". that is formed when you align the rear sight with the front sight and the target. Here is how to find it. At the very end of the barrel on top is the front sight. About 2/3 of the way back and still on top is the rear sight. If you hold the rifle stock to your shoulder and support the front of the weapon with one hand you can look down the barrel. You will notice the rear sight looks something like a V and the front sight will look like a dot. If you move the rifle so that the dot appears to be in the middle of that V you have accomplished your initial "sight picture". Now keeping the dot in the center of the V align that with the target you wish to hit. This is your complete sight picture.

It will take practice to figure out if the wind is affecting you and distance to the target and a lot of other things but that is the correct way to sight the rifle in and should get you started. Good luck.

It could be caused by a number of things. Some ammunition tends to drift to the right. Switch to another brand of ammunition. Make sure it is all brass jacketing, not nickel. Even try switching to a lower grain ammo to be sure that the issue isn't the "heft" of the ammo that is giving you problems.

Your sights could be slightly off, so I'd have them checked out. Even if the sights were installed by the manufacturer or a secondary dealer, they may not check that they are properly aligned. Even then, the transport process can shift them, due to temperature, road vibration, etc. Go to a good gun shop and have their gunsmith do a sight alignment check. It won't take long usually and can be realigned within minutes. Or get an alignment tool from stores like Cheaper than Dirt. Learn to sight your weapon and save money over time.

If none of these help, it can be an issue with actual shooting technique. You may not realize it, but you could be "pushing" the gun with the left hand if you are right-handed. It's like you are trying to "push" the bullet where you want it to go. Your hands might do it unconsciously. If you are left-handed, you could be anticipating the recoil and noise from the propellant exploding. One of your arms may also be relaxed too much, if you use a Weaver stance. If that is the case, use the Isosceles stance, which is a more balanced and steady position - both arms are locked out and wrists are stable. Take a very slow, steady and methodical trigger press...see how it turns out. Fire off a few rounds as slowly as possible. Take your time. Don't try to force your arms to stay still either. That "wobble" won't make a big difference in your shot placement if you have a good trigger press. Trying to force them to stay still can be causing some of that "push" with your arms.
