    If only air rifles' triggers were as sweet as deer rifles'. Any way of fixing that?

    Yip buy a Weihrauch they have record triggers.
    If your bush shoot, snap shots you better off with firmer trigger. Like 2-4 lbs

    Some air rifles like the Dianna have a nice two stage trigger. Something to keep in mind if purchasing.

    Yep, I use basic x sticks, or shooting stix. What ever you want to call them.
    Best thing since sliced bread. Yanks have been using them since they shot buffaloes.

    You can make very light ones using carbon arrows. Mine fold for a compact carry. Or just wood dowl, ally tube.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.

    Hey mate,

    I see you're in Auckland. I'm happy to help you some time in person. I'm shooting coach qualified in the army (actually heading away again end of april to instruct on a course)
    Offer is open to anyone else as well. Would be good to get a few people together over a weekend

    I thought I invented folding shooting sticks. But then I found this. Mine are virtually identical. Very compact and light weight. You can also easily make them a tripod. Even better.
