Thanks softwarez I have tried the prone position and without doubt it's the best for a steady shot, but like you say, if the gun needs cocking it can be a pain But thats what I used to zero in as it is far more reliable.softwarez said:SHooting technique? Well.. i wa sin the army.. and i will tell you the RIGHT way. trust me.. do what i say.. and you will be good ;0) (I was the ebst shot in my company, yeahhh babbyyy)
OK..
Im guessing your right handed, and right eyed.
Left Eye should be shut when concentrating on an aim.
Breathing as follows.. breathe normal.. and when your about to shoot EXHALE NOT INHALE. and hold it for 2-3 seconds and shoot.. and breathe..
BUT! after a shot.. DONT MOVE. dont disturb your position.. take another shot.. (unless you got a cock or 1 pellet rifle.. which i do.. so you can ignore that rule)
OK.. positioning.. i will take webcam pics of howyou can sit/kneel/lay down etc.. but for now.. to lay down.. on stomach, legs Straight behind you with your toes poitning outwards feeling natural. and rest on your elbows.. if u know what i mean.. Heres how positioning sohuld go : Legs/left arm/left hand/ right arm/ right hand/ shoulders/head position/relax. my best poition i found apart from prone (lay down) was to Kneel (sit)
in the army sitting on your foot counts as kneeling. basically.. as if you was stood up.. put your right foot on the ground with the outside of your foot on the floor.. and sit on your boot while leaning forward and resting your elbow on your right leg.. this works a charm! get used to them.. if you have any questions.. just ask!

I have been trying to find out if I can upgrade my stock to a walnut one and where I can get one from ?
I also wondered what it would do to my gun by installing a Gas Ram in it. Does it make them quieter, more powerful or easier to load etc ?
I manged to get my scope zeroed a little better and got this result from kneeling. I was quite pleased with it as it was only the second day of owning the rifle, I don't know if this is any good or what though ?
TBH Chaos I don't have a clue. I heard Theoben make them for the older Lightning but I have no clue as to whether it's worth doing or not. I love the gun so I don't mind spening money on it as I want to keep it and maybe get a Pnuematic one to go with it.chaos said:What sort of gas ram are you looking to install?
A walnut stock...................I would have thought it would be a custom jobby, and expensive.
I like the advert for Bisley pellets

Yeah but if you've got a nice new target to shoot at, whats the point in not using the bullseye to challenge yourself further. It's harder to actually see the holes in the center than it is on the outer edges so it's more of a challengesoftwarez said:WHen your shooting it isnt "How close ot the middle you get it" lol It's MAINLY the grouping.. if you have all your shots grouped.. thats the main thing
