How to sight an air rifle?

Answer 1

This is actually a very good question, as most people make the mistake of using sandbags when sighting in an air rifle. The question is, what type of air rifle? If it's a springer, you want to hold the gun in a relaxed way. If you hold it real tight against your shoulder, it will be hard to sight in because of the unique recoil. The same goes for sandbags with a springer. If you are going to use sandbags, put your hand underneath the forestock in a relaxed way. Also, get a scope stop, so that you can stop "scope travel" which tends to occur with springers. As for PCPS, and pumps, there is no recoil, so you can pretty much sight in like you would a firearm.

Your shoulders determine where the ball is going to end up. Your foot placement also matters. Your eyes will deceive you when starting to play. I suggest lining up to tee off. - then placing a Golf club on the ground (don't move your feet when doing this) behind -along your heels. Step away from your club and back away from the green or fairway. Notice where your club is pointing and that's where you have aimed your shot in golf. Once you correct your foot placement most of your shots should be down the middle of the fairway.

It's different for every one. For a pistol, you'll pull back the slide. For an M4, you'll pull back the charging handle. For an AK, you'll pull back the bolt. For a sniper, it's a typical bolt action. For shotguns, you pump it. It's pretty simple.

On cheap guns, you want to keep both eyes open, with the gun pointed forward. after you shoot, watch where the bbs go, and adjust from there. For mid-range guns, often the Iron sights will be usefull as starting points for aim, as well as function in close ranges. There are many styles of iron sights, but the basic principle is that you look through the rear, and line it up with the front to make a sight picture you can move onto a target. guns with magnification optics require you to close one eye and aim throught the scope. If it is set up correctly you should hit near the crosshairs.
