POST VIDEO UPDATE: I switched out to White Mint Savers, and at 7 yards my average shot up to 3 out of 4. Also, I won 3 out of 4 for the first time at 10 yards.
With my smoothbore 2840, shooting 7 grain Econ wadcutters, I hit 2 out of three at 9 yards on my first try. I didn't stick with off hand. The first was a miss; and I chose to create a monopod by leaning on a vertical support - using my forearm as a rest. But with Econs, on further tests, I got very good offhand at 10 yard mark.
This channel is about EVERYBODY being able to fix it (methods I choose), and EVERYBODY being able to shoot well. I talk standards that are widely achievable.
Umarex and Avanti BBs are great Ryder choice here. Let this performance doctor explain:

Old school pros (like Larry from Alabama) are right to promote the light weight oils for this Ryder spring gun. The performance is great.

I puff with straw in the oil hole every time the magazine goes empty. Then tip forward and shoot it.
