......one of the rifle coaches at our local high school. It is a public school with a rifle team that has produced some great competitors.

They have a proper compressor for filling scuba tanks, so.......

I actually own two pcp guns, the second is a Crosman 1720T .177 pistol, that I fitted with a stock. It makes for a very handy little carbine. I'm going to have it revalved for a bit more power, as it is shooting at about 750fps. I'd like to get that up a tad more, maybe around 900fps, but it is stunningly accurate right now.

I built an English pub style bell target, which forces you to shoot through a hole to ring a bell. The Crosman will do this easily at 10 meters IF the shooter can do his part. Since you are threading a .177 pellet through a hole that is a bit over .3125 (5/16 washer) a steady hold is paramount. You know if you've done it by the "ding" of the bell.
