Sid,

You are never going to live this one down. Not if I can help it. :mrgreen:

You aren't exactly alone either... http://nygord-precision.com/note_0402.htm :mrgreen:

Okay, enough of the leg pulling. The groups are better than what most newbies achieve. Read through the articles seen in the following links. They are meant for pistol shooters but the basics, barring stance, applies to rifle shooting as well.

All the best.

Had told? My dear cub writer that won't do ;-). I remember asking you to come to the range to zero the rifle...typical creative guy needs a brief to begin work . :lol:

Dev
P.S. C'mon indulge us we haven't had a fun new guy for a while. ;-)

went to the range but when i saw every one around with such amazing rifles didn't have the heart to take mine one out of the car :(
haven't been able to zero it in even after say some 100 shots so lets meet up at siri fort when ever you say Dev am dying to get this thing zeroed in rather learn how to do it. Am certainly game just tell me when and where :)

And fell free to carry on with the fun ON MY EXPENSE for when inevitable i tend to enjoy the rape :lol:. it seriously doesn't hurt feel free to carry on (liar liar)

Norfolk is generally reckoned to be the dimwit capital of Britain
Considering most of our politicians hang around there, the rest of India may agree on the "dimwit capital" bit but "nice"?Not on your life! :mrgreen:

No problems. Abhijeet and Mack The Knife have already given you the advice which was crucial. Hold the air rifle lightly and fire more shots with a few different types of pellets, then note the results. A springer air rifle breaks in properly only after about 500 pellets shot through it.

Am actually quite keen to take apart your rifle to examine the design of the trigger unit - if that's OK with you... :)

Cheers!
