I'm still playing with this gun - couldn't pass it up for $99. this is my first Hatsan and I was initially a little disappointed, but I'm slowly getting to 'know' the gun. I've learned that you need to pull UP on the trigger for better accuracy. etc... I haven't toyed with the trigger much but I plan to.However, since this gun has such a short barrel, should I be using the artillery hold or not ? Should I firmly grip the gun with my trigger hand or should I be gentle with it ? Should I firmly shoulder the stock ?cheers !!!
