Taff Mason Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 lighter guns don't always stop the movment, it could be the way the gun is balanced but more likely technique mate. just keep at it an you'll see a big improvment. remember to apply the marksmanship principles an it'll come.

jerico Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 All you have to do is get used to the weight of the rifle you have, if this is your first rifle then you also need to learn how to shoot a rifle, never mind a heavy one in .22. These are great rifles and if you put the practice in you will be able to shoot with it as well as any other rifle. One thing that helped me with the s16 was to turn the bottle cover so that the shoulder mount is sitting at an angle, not only is it more comfortable but it wont get caught in the armpit of your cloths. :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleaner4hire Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 standing shots are always the most difficult, a bit of practice will help no ends with getting to grips with it. I was in a similar position when i started shooting. I found that it helped to practice just holding the rifle on target (paper) for as long as possible. over time this seemed to help with the wobling and also helped me find the most comfortable way to hold the rifle - i just did this at every opportunity - when out hunting using knots on trees or nails in posts and then once i had the knack of being steady, tried shooting very small targets. It takes some time and practice but you will notice improvements after a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
