Hi
Some of the people on this forum know me others do not.
Some may remember me as the guy who came in almost an year ago and did not know the butt off a rifle from its stock.

Well I have learnt over the time quite a bit of things and have faced a whole bunch of issues because of lack of material on this subject.

So I wanted to start a series of topics on introduction to air rifle shooting. Please note I am not a great expert like hvj1. All I will try to do is share my experiences and knowledge which obviously will dwarf in front of more respected members.

Gaurav,

Fantastic Idea and a great start. I am sure it will be of great help for lot of people including me. You have covered pretty much everything , Just like to mention in point B "Rifle" do cover the basic adjustment process , like how to setup your stock correctly, adjusting LOP etc. Also in Dry trainning are you planning to cover simulators like scatt, Rika, Noptel etc and the basic analysis like sway , traces understanding ?

Sincerely looking for the series and thanks again for the idea and effort in advance.

Regards
Saptarshi
Thanks and Regards,

What an idea, Sirjee!!!! Will be a great help. Please include some advice for Indian made break-barrel springers, as this type would probably be the first airgun most of newbies would use (well, I do use one, so extrapolating... :wink: ).
Thanks a lot! Will owe you a large one!
Cheers!

:idea: Wonderful initiative! :idea:
Certainly looking forward to it and learning from it. Hope that it would help novices like me climb up a rung or two.

Once done and when members like me share our experiences you could incorporate and try to write up a book on the training part of the sport - something named like "Air Rifle Shooter's Primer" or "Novice's guide to Air Rifle Shooting" or "ABC of Air Rifle Shooting" and incorporate our experiences in shaded boxes. What say gverma ? Good Luck!!! :cheers:
