Spring Operated Gun Shooting Tips |
- Spring piston airguns typically require 500-1,000 shots to break
in properly. Groups may be erratic for the first 100+ shots.
- DO NOT bench rest on ANY solid objects! NO part of the gun should
rest on a rigid surface or object.
- Utilize sand bags, pillows, or folded quilts as a shooting surface.
- The gun barrel is NEVER to rest on any surface when shooting.
- Position the gun so that it is resting and pointing at a specific
target point without being held. You can then ease into the shooting position
without changing sight picture. By taking out as much of the "Human
Factor" of holding the gun, your accuracy will most likely improve.
- SQUEEZE the trigger - pulling the trigger and or jerking the trigger
will result in terrible accuracy.
- Follow Through is Very Important. Try not to blink when the gun
fires and continue to focus on the precise point of aim.
- Always hold the gun "loosely" at the forearm and in the
shoulder. Spring guns usually become inaccurate when held tightly.
- Changing your shooting position or grip can and will affect your
point of impact.
- Scopes are to be mounted with 2.75" to 3" of eye relief.
- DO NOT PULL THE TRIGGER WITH THE BARREL BROKEN OVER. The barrel
will fly up causing a bent barrel and could result in serious injury to
a person. Also, a cracked and/or broken stock will occur.
- Each rifle is an individual and has its own characteristics. To
achieve the best performance, you should try an RWS
Sampler pack of pellets to see which ammo your gun shoots the most accurately.
- Use only high quality pellets in your rifle, such as the RWS
line of pellets. They are much cleaner and manufactured to more exacting tolerances.
- Do not dry fire your rifle as this can damage your gun.
