Diana 54 shoot

Arrange things so that there is no obstruction to your left. Will probably require shooting off the left side of whatever bench you are using, or from sitting, which is what I do. With butt on right thigh, simultaneously pull lever to the right and rifle stock to the left. When fully cocked the lever will be approximately horizontal. Not really that hard once you get the technique down.
