Not sure what to do..

Apologies to the OP and anyone else that might take offense to this but we'd complain like hell if our guns weren't accurate so why make it sound like a negative when they actually are??

As has been suggested, the simple answer to a "boringly accurate gun" is to make the targets more challenging............

I'm now going to settle back with a glass of alcohol free cider (I'm not joking unfortunately) and wait for the sticky stuff to come my way.😁
 
If your not short of Wonga then I'd keep them as someone Will only beg them off you 😔.

I can never get my head around folks moaning about PCPs being accurate & boring 🤔...well so what!!...I do enjoy shooting a Springer now& then but I don't own any anymore & won't be rushing out to purchase any.

All you have to do is keep testing yourself & keep making targets harder to hit 🎯.
I've always assumed shooting was about hitting things 👌.

Presumably you shoot seated off a rest ?

Why not try some standing offhand for more of a challenge.

I don't have a rest. I see that as pointless.
May as well just push a button.
I have a bipod. Or a cushion.
Or i sit in seat and off the knee.


Shooting for me. Used to try to be better. But Modern PCP are so perfect now . What can better them in a shooting experience?

I really liked my rifles to play with. But I'm torn with the daystate redwolf.
I love it
But it's boring accurate. And Life less to shoot.
I don't need to sell it. But it's not something I jump to use.

Do I sell . But what could replace. If anything?

I find PCPs boring.

The one I borrowed today was brilliant fun for a few minutes, blasting away and hitting more small targets than I usually do.

But my old boingers make me grin and PCPs do not.
Simple, really - for me.

Good thing we're all different, eh?

Change from using a magazine to a single shot loader, that way you are resetting every shot instead of staying on target.

Try standing either offhand or off sticks. Try shooting left handed if you’re a right handed shooter or vice versa.

Cut some cards and participate in ‘cutting the deck thread’, shoot through polo mints, shoot a pellet off a balloon etc etc
 
My thinking, and to add to everything that's already been said...

Is it accurate? ✔️
Is it reliable? ✔️
Can you afford to keep it? ✔️

Keep it!

There will come a time when it will likely become one of the ones you regret selling. I also like to think of my rifles and pistols as having different functions, and satisfying different moods...

If I want an immediate challenge, I reach for one of my springers (HW30 or HW97k). If the range is limited, or indoors, it's the HW30.

If I fancy a laid back session, I usually reach for one of my PCPs. And if my mood and attention begin to wane, I'll liven things up by making the target more challenging and to a greater distance.

Sometimes I'll reach for a pistol at home, and indulge in a spot of 6 yard or 10 yard target. On other occasions I'll reach for a mini carbine (Mito) and indulge in a spot of indoor benchrest.
 
I think boredom with PCP’s depends on the discipline for me. Yesterday I went to the range where I tend to walk a 30 peg HFT course. There was a shotgun comp on which meant we sat at benches plinking for 3 hours, fine for about an hour and I love the banter and conversation but after an hour I’m done with it. I shot my pro-target and hw 100 yesterday both blisteringly accurate although years separate their manufacture but in that scenario predictable and dare I say it boring. A few hours later on the course, shooting off sticks, targets that are changed making you think about distances and windage, uneven ground, stance and I’m back in the game accurate or not, lots more to think about and then it’s me that has to get it right to make the “boring” PCP do what it has to do.
