Possible CAUSES for AIR PISTOL SHOOTING HIGHER than the intended TARGET??

Question

I have a Colt 1911 co2 air pistol. I spent nearly $200 for the air pistol.

I have shot at least 400 rounds from the pistol.

Whenever I'm aiming at the target, the shot goes SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER than the intended target.

I have purchased and attached additional 'match sights' which should adjust for windage and elevation ie. height. However, adjusting the elevation on the match sights does not fix the problem. The shot still goes higher than the intended target even through adjusting the elevation on the match sights.

Could it be that the air pistol is defective if the shot is always higher than the intended target?

What are the possible causes for the air pistol shooting higher than the intended target??

Answer 1

Maybe your jerking it up when you shoot or something. Try shooting lower than the target. That should fix the problem.
