Tips Pistol dan Senapan Angin Spring - Air Gun

Here are some tips on breaking-in and shooting a spring powered air rifle:
Spring piston airguns, including break barrel, side lever, and under lever, typically require 500-1,000 shots to break in properly. Groups may be erratic for the first 100+ shots.

• DO NOT bench rest on ANY solid objects! NO part of the gun should rest on a rigid surface or object.
• Utilize sand bags, pillows, or folded quilts as a shooting surface.
• A springer's barrel is NEVER to rest on any surface when shooting.
• Position the rifle so that it is resting and pointing at a specific target point without being held. You can then ease into the shooting position without changing sight picture. By taking out as much of the "Human Factor" of holding the rifle, your accuracy will most likely improve.
• SQUEEZE the trigger - pulling the trigger and or jerking the trigger will result in terrible accuracy.
• Follow Through is Very Important. Try not to blink when the rifle fires and continue to focus on the precise point of aim.
• Always hold the rifle "loosely" at the forearm and in the shoulder. Spring guns usually become inaccurate when held tightly.
• Changing your shooting position or grip can and will affect your point of impact.
• Scopes are to be mounted with 2.75" to 3" of eye relief.
• DO NOT pull the trigger when the barrel is broken over. The barrel will fly up causing a bent barrel and could result in serious injury to you or someone else. Also, a cracked and/or broken stock may occur.
• Each air rifle is an individual and has its own characteristics. To achieve the best performance, you should try an RWS Sampler pack of pellets to see which ammo your air gun shoots the most accurately.
• Use only high quality pellets in your air gun, such as RWS air rifle pellets. RWS Airgun Pellets are much cleaner and manufactured to more exacting tolerances than many other brands.
• Do not dry fire your spring air rifle as this can damage your rifle.

How to cock a break barrel:

Make sure the airgun is "ON SAFE". With one hand grasp the top of the rear stock firmly, avoid contact with the trigger, and brace the butt end of the stock against your thigh. Grasp the barrel near the muzzle end, just behind the front sight. Pull downward and to the rear until it comes to a solid stop. You will hear a click indicating that the spring piston has been locked into position (see illustration to right).
