Even thought its a measly air rifle I will be using, I am itching to start sourcing some meat for the family. FAL couldn't come any sooner...

Im an air rifle shooter. Absolutly love it. Takes a lot of skill to use a springer. You got to get in close, a 55m shot is a long shot on average. You got to be accurate cause the shock wont bowl it over. You got to know the wind cause your pellet is light as. You got to know your pellet drop cause its a big arc over a relatively short distance. If ya need any info yell out or head on over to kiwiairgunners, lot of good knowledgeable ppl there who can help you refine ya knowledge as well. Lots of useful info in the forums.
Air guns are highly under rated in my view
What are you shooting and what pellets are you using ?
