I'd like to get my soon-to-be 13yr old daughter used to shooting. I figured a 686 was a little much to start on, so I borrowed an old 4' H&R 22 from my dad. I took it out for a test run and had trouble even hitting the target from 15 yds. The 22 long rifle sub sonic I was using seemed to be going way, way high. I halfed the distance and was able to hit it, but a little high and to the left. I did notice with these that the holes were tear dropped shaped with the pointed end of the drop pointed left. I would assume that this means the bullet was tumbling. Am I using the wrong bullets, or am I just expecting too much out of the little 22? Would 22 shorts be better?
