Tom, I saw a post last month when you were telling about receiving the new rifle. It appears you are getting along with it just fine. 40 yards out and 60 feet up equals about a 45 yard shot. Very nice! And "off hand" is Very, VERY nice!!I had only one break barrel rifle and did NOT get along with it at all. I think I sold it about six months after I bought it.

The trick for me is to time the shot as I rase the rifle.The shot needs to go off just as soon as the cross hairs align on the target.I rase the rifle and shoot in one coordinated motion.It works pretty good once you get the hang of it.The longer I hold the rifle on target the more the scope picture moves around.Break barrels are not for everyone. As for me, I like them. They are simple and easy to deal with.PCPs are a better choice for most folks.They have more power, are usually lighter in weight and are more accurate for most shooters.Best Wishes - Tom
Good morning to everyone.Last year, for the first time since I came to Tennessee, the HUNTING/FISHING Licenses were sold for 1-Year from date-of-purchase. This morning, I bought my second license that is also for 1-year from date-of-purchase. If you live long enough, you can get stuff at a lower price: The HUNTING/FISHING combo was $7.52 = $4 for the licenses + $3.52 handling fees.YOO HOO! I am ready for the rest of the season.
