How to shoot an air rifle accurately.

Many of us have tried to hit that stubborn bird that sits and poop on your newly washed car or just that simple paper target in the back yard but ended up missing .I am going to teach you how to shoot an air rifle with great precision.

First of all you should know that you are not going to get a 1ince grouping a 100 yards with a poorly built air rifle. The same apply for your scope. I would recommend buying a air rifle scope that is rated for the air rifles recoil. Buying a scope that is made for centerfire rifles and putting it on a air rifle would simply destroy the scope.
1.Always hold the rifle as light as you can and in the exact same way every time to build muscle memory.
2. Remember to have good trigger control as this the main reason shooters miss there target.You should squeeze the trigger very slowly until the gun goes off and not jerk it.
3. Breathing is just as important a trigger control. If you are ready to take the shot inhale 3 times and slowly exhale. At this point your body is saturated with oxygen and you are in the best position to take the shot.
4. Using quality ammunition in your air rifle will increase your accuracy while keeping in mind every rifle is unique and performs better with some types of ammunitions. It is best to buy a trial pack and see with your rifle prefer.
5. Practise makes perfect when it comes to shooting. Go to your local range and just put some rounds down range.
Remember SAFTY first, never shoot or point at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
            Good luck and happy hunting!
