Air rifle shooting has recently become more and more popular. It is static, unlike pistol shooting, as it is carried out over long distances. In this process, it is very important to adopt a stable posture and carefully aim, using the emphasis. On the hunt, by the way, this is generally the main rule.
Shooting from an air rifle is based on the same rules as from a pistol - making, aiming and lowering. Due to the linear dimensions of this weapon, as well as its significant weight, we can conclude that the shooting brings the best results if this process is carried out sitting or lying down. However, in this position it is difficult enough to charge a rifle with a discharge or cocking lever - you will have to change the position.
Like rifles, spring piston pistols are popular with athletes. This is the most common type of weapon. Shooting from it is carried out with the help of compressed air, formed at the moment when a person pulls the trigger, due to the straightening of the spring. When the shot is prepared, it remains in a compressed state. We can safely say that it is with such a pistol that the acquaintance with weapons begins with most of the novice shooters. And this is logical, since this thing is quite inexpensive, simple and suitable for training.
Sports shooting from an air rifle is carried out on targets. I would like to note that this is a very individual matter. Each person has his own taste, and even the choice of target has its own characteristics. In any store that sells weapons, the seller can offer to purchase a target if the person does not yet have the necessary skills that require shooting with an air rifle. Usually it is a layout with an image of the target to be hit. It can be a bird, a rabbit, etc. And so a person will choose a target based on his own preferences.
Recently, many shooters have been going to arms stores to buy a small-caliber rifle. This is a fairly cheap shotgun, which is easy to find ammo, plus it has a slight return. It is these facts that make this weapon attractive to hunters. It has a great fight. Small-bore rifle is easy to operate and reliable, which is very important. Its trunk passes the strictest control and is made only from the best materials. The bolt is most often longitudinally sliding, has a safety lock and rotation when locking. The shutter stem locks the chamber securely, and the mainspring cocked at the moment of sending it forward. The descent has a warning. It is worth noting the diopter sight, which allows you to make corrections directly during the shooting process by rotating the drums.
Air rifles due to their excellent characteristics are used for different purposes. This can be hunting, and training, and service in special units. Often people acquire powerful weapons of this class for self-defense. And, of course, air rifle shooting is a very popular sport, as well as Olympic discipline.
