Thread: How soon should I process a freshly killed rabbit?

Its a prick of technique to get right. Takes a lot of pratice. And a lot of watching your hold and analising it.
Back to pellets, if your shooting from a rest (with your hand on the rest and the gun on your hand) taking your time, how tight are the groups? If all ya gun screws are evenly tightened and scope screws are tight,your holding the gun the same, groups are still bit wide may be the pellets. Sort out some pellets, checking them for damage try again. Still not great. Take the scope off try open sights ( air rifles are really hard on scopes)
If accuracy doesnt improve try a differnt brand of pellets. Also get on web watch videos or read reviews on your gun. Dont worry to much about brand of pellet, but take note of how many grains the pellet is. Find out what the most common grain/weight pellet that gets good resaults and start at that weight of pellet.
If you know anyone with a chronograph fire a few shots over that and make sure its not changing too much. There is the possiblity the seal on the piston or around the barrel/reciever may be deteriorated.
Welcome to the world of air guns. Its a art unto itself.
