rifle into India

As far as I know the only weapon you can import is air rifle/air pistol. All other weapons can only be imported by you if you are a "renowned shooter".....that is if you are in the top 25 in that category.

Does an air pistol pellet which has fallen on the ground and caught dust damage the barrel?

Head Position

How does head position affect the point of impact?.....I mean if your sights are aligned perfectly and in the aiming area when the trigger releases, would head posture affect the shot placement? And why?

grouping

Let me clarify what I meant by 'groups'. These are 5-7 shots all grouped approximately the size of the 10 ring (meaning pretty closed groups). And each successive target that I shoot has one such group with an eccentric placement.....even sometimes somewhere in the 8 ring......Comments ! Rajat Dhesi...

shot grouping

As a new shooter I would like to ask.....what is the most likely cause of shooting moderately good groups on different targets on the same session but each group is very differently placed....one group on one target would centre around 3 o'clock at the nine ring, for example, while another would cen...

trigger weight

Thanks Richard, I'm not saying that I feel the trigger adjustment is slowing my progress....I should have put things differently. I mean I've been playing around with my trigger settings and experimenting....and what I meant to ask was whether there are any strong recommendations for the weight and ...
