Hey Y’all. I’m new here, but I would occasionally read posts before joining the site. I don’t have a lot of shooting experience and I’m new to PCP air rifles. My first purchase was a Benjamin Bulldog bundle last summer. It came with a Center Point 6-20x50 TAG scope, a Benjamin bipod, a bag, mag, and sling. I’ve been exclusively shooting JSB Match Diabolo Exact .35 pellets 81.02 gr at paper targets w/wood backing from 50-65 yds. I’d like to improve my technique and aim. Ultimately I intend to use the Bulldog to hunt varmints, predators, and pests (raccoon, possums, wild hogs, coyotes). Eventually I’d like to add some modifications or maybe purchase a modified Bulldog. With that said, I have been reading and working to improve my shooting by learning proper technique and trying to make adjustments in areas of my performance (i.e using reticle mildots to compensate for pellet drop when shooting w/lower psi). I am a couple hundred rounds in and have tons to learn.
Today I have a couple of questions about search tips for this site. For example, I attempted to search for information on ways to use the Benjamin sling as a brace for shooting (while standing mostly). I typed in different word combinations and changed search categories, sifted through the results, but did not find the info that I’m searching for. I also tried switching between the “titles” and “content” search options. Later I searched for maintenance info specific to the Bulldog. I had better luck here, but the search results included a lot of information about other rifles that I’m currently not interested in. When I searched for info on Bulldog modifications I had an easier time, but still had to sift through irrelevant posts. So my question is, how can I better utilize the search functions and tools to narrow down my search results in order to avoid asking questions that have already been asked as well as to avoid reading a lot info that’s completely irrelevant? Help that leads to better search results would be appreciated.
