This report covers: Self-enabler One accurate shot And airguns? The cost Pellet rifle Affordable target air pistols Any others? Summary If you’re a shooter you know about accuracy. In fact, accuracy is probably one of the things you value most about shooting. I know it is for me. Self-enabler I have to admit when I was younger I liked style and flash almost as much as accuracy, but that changed as I grew up.

I know, if you’re a regular reader, I may have encouraged you to make the effort to hit the water during off season a while back and well, I have not yet done that myself because, I may need some encouragement myself.  A Fish Fry Ahead!
