[QUOTE="Urban_Hunter, post: 5500871, member: 12353"] I would suggest watching some videos on the “hold”. On a regular rifle, if you could not touch the rifle besides the trigger, it would make for the most accurate shot… as there would be no input into the chassis of the gun that could be different from shot to shot. On a break barrel pellet rifle, you have moving parts en mass moving inside the gun itself. Essentially it is more accurate if you can “hold” it still. That doesn’t mean to bear hug the gun, as it would be very inconsistent. The best hold is to have the forearm on a rest and to have the stock in a bench hold where your off hand is under the stock… essentially cradling the rear of the stock. It takes practice to be consistent day to day, but my RWS will hold a dime at 35 yards with ease and cheap pellets [/QUOTE]
