I want to update this thread with a big THANK YOU to those of you that gave me guidance on how to shoot air rifles. Despite being and avid hunter, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with this Benjamin Titan .22 when I first got it. Here are the items I changed. Now I'm shooting about 1-inch...
