    As for the shooting, look i'm new ish okay? I'm well aware i'm not a marksman yet but the vast majority of time when i aim for the head i hit it. But sometimes i don't, we all have slip ups. Telling me to shoot better isn't helpful. I'm working on it, can't make it go any faster.
    @Angus_A my remarks were made in jest mate.

    I am however a big advocate of practice, a simple steel walking target or resettable can be purchased from trademe and offers hours of fun if you aim small and have somewhere to shoot.

    The other thing to try is moving up in cal. The 17M2 offers substantially more power and the terminal ballistics are pretty impressive.

    Good luck.
