    My biggest problem is keeping it stable i think, admittedly i didn't have the best rest, a farm gate whilst sitting on a saw horse and i was really struggling. I've gotten pretty good at shooting using the sling as a support though.
    Bought some of those stick on targets from hunting and fishing, on a piece of ply wood.

    I have to disagree with the no need for ear pro. Yeah I don't use any when spotlighting but on the range where all sorts of calibre are used I personally would.

    I noticed that my trigger pull made the grouping from my jw15 go all over the show.

    I have one inch groups at 25m twice but if I did a bad pull it'd have a bad flyer.

    If you go to a wreckers then get a scissor lift and kindly find someone to weld a bit of metal plate onto the bottom of glue a bit of plywood. Bolt a bit of ply or MDF and insulate it do the bolt doesn't scratch the gun and you have an ok rest. The only thing is make sure that the wood is fairly wide. Otherwise they aren't the most stable.
