[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 537385, member: 6452"] I have an HW97 and get way more practice because of it. No range fees, no driving and a 30 minute session only burns up $1 of components. The springers are touchy you have to be very consistant in your hold to get them to shoot well. I understand PCP's are much less touchy. For a training aid a very accurate gun that is also touchy regarding hold will lend to more consistant practice. Also if you make up a few Field Target style targets to knock over it is lots of fun. Set a couple at unkown yardages then move back and forth an unkown distance and work on your range adjustments. I set 2 about 15 yards apart and then move my shooting position across a range of 30 yards or so. Get everything from 20 yard shots to 50 yarders that way. If you've seen "How to Shoot Beyond Belief" John Burns recomends the super accurate PacLite barrels on the hard to shoot Ruger and Browning .22 pistols. Do everything right and they will shoot bug holes, screw up a bit on your hold or trigger squeeze and you'll have a nasty flyer. [/QUOTE]
