what kind of scope do you have on it? and are you shooting the pellet gun the same way every time, practice is the best way of becoming a true marksman
Question of muzzle velocity and. . . follow through. Lower speed, need to be more consistent on how you hold pellet gun AFTER you pull trigger. Using same ammo. ? Slower it shoots(muzzle velocity) the more you need to follow through with your shot. Don’t pull the trigger and move the sights away. Take your time. Have shot hit target before you move gun
It sounds like the issue probably isn’t the scope. Its probably how you’re holding the gun. You said you have a “1000 fps” pellet gun. That means its likely a spring-piston airgun. Is that correct? The reason I ask is because the vibration from the airgun’s power-plant can mess up your shot-to-shot consistency if you don’t hold the airgun correctly. The best way to hold a spring-piston airgun that I’ve ever heard of is called the artillery hold. (1) Its a loose hold that allows the gun to vibrate the same way each time. Tom Gaylord does a better job explaining it in the article & video I linked to than I ever could so I encourage you to check out the link in the sources section.
Another possible issue, could be the scope. Spring-piston airguns generate a bi-directional recoil that’s very hard on scopes. So you need to make sure the scope you’re using is rated for use on spring-piston airguns and is secured to the gun tightly.
