This video provides comprehensive guidance on optimizing the accuracy of break-barrel airguns, emphasizing proper maintenance and shooting techniques. Key recommendations include thoroughly reading the owner's manual and consistently lubricating crucial components like the breach O-ring and transfer port with silicone to ensure smooth piston operation and minimize damaging recoil. The expert also highlights the importance of correct scope mounting, ensuring the rings do not touch the turrets to prevent reticle damage from the airgun's unique double recoil. Finally, for consistent shot placement, the video advises against using traditional gun rests, instead recommending specific freehand shooting stances or supporting the gun with your hand to manage recoil, alongside a "jerking" trigger technique rather than a slow squeeze.

The video explains a specialized technique called the "artillery hold" for accurately firing spring air rifles, which differ significantly from recoil-less PCP rifles or firearms. Unlike traditional shooting stances where the rifle is held tightly, the artillery hold emphasizes a loose, gentle grip on the rifle's stock and a light rest of the butt against the shoulder. This counter-intuitive method allows the rifle to recoil naturally when the internal spring fires forward, preventing erratic barrel movement and improving shot grouping. The video demonstrates this technique in various positions, highlighting how a tight grip causes pellets to scatter and how the artillery hold promotes a more fluid and accurate shooting experience by allowing the rifle to move as it's designed to.
