Hi everybody, im new to the air-gunning world, starting out with an old daisy 880 and a crosman phantom 1000. i've been target shooting the past few days and i love these guns, i should be getting a Gamo big cat soon. I got some plans for a shooting range in my back yard that will have tagets at 10, 25, 50, 100, and 150 yards. Cant wait to take out some rabbits and squirrels
Any suggestions on improving accuracy?
Thanks everybody

Welcome to GTA Dylan.
Sounds like you have great plans!!! As far as improving accuracy goes. Shoot often, try different pellets, then stick with what works. Other than that, welcome to the Family!
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, then shoot some more!!!!
