This source offers a comprehensive guide to improving air rifle accuracy, emphasizing that shooter skill is paramount over expensive equipment. It delves into crucial techniques such as controlled breathing (releasing one-third of a breath before firing) and proper trigger control (pulling straight back like a pencil). The author highlights the importance of understanding pellet trajectory at various distances and factoring in wind, suggesting the use of mil-dot scopes and cheek-piece notes for precise adjustments. Furthermore, the guide discusses the significance of pellet consistency, advising against deformed skirts, and concludes by providing specific aiming points for humane animal dispatch, focusing on hitting vital organs rather than just the head.

Ben thanks for the review and the information on the artillery hold. Here is the rifle shooting instructions I received from the my best shooter instructor years ago. He was an army marksman/sniper. The keys are: first, find the balance point of the particular break barrel (any rifle) with and without the optics. Second place your trigger hand on the rifle and find what that distance is from the balance point to the middle of the palm. Third is placing your forehand or bag at that exact distance forward of the balance point basically having the balance point in the middle of your two hands. I use the trigger hand to hold the rifle butt firmly (not hard) against my shoulder shooting pocket! (Ben knows what a shooting pocket is!!) Make sure your forehand acts like a cupped rest not a hold. This method and being precise it very important and has given me the best shooting results on all the rifles I have ever shot. His favorite quote "if you want precision (shooting) you must practice precision"(hold and trigger control).
