ENHANCE YOUR SHOOTING
A shooting rest can be useful for testing a pistol, as well as for long-range plinking. However, it is more of a crutch for any other form of handgun shooting. Back in the day, the only shooting rests in our old pistol club were those for sitting on. In order to improve with a pistol, what’s really needed is to get some solid shooting experience under the belt at shorter, more realistic target distances.
Practising with anything is better than not practising at all, but a pellet-firing air pistol is best. Despite being a collector of BB guns, with the best will in the world, most of these cannot come close to the performance of a pellet pistol for more serious shooting. More important is using a pistol in single-action mode, cocking the hammer back and setting the trigger first. With double-action mode there is too much unnecessary movement.
