landing away from the desired point of
impact. The converse of this is as simple as
those of us who discovered it; use the least
muscular tension you can, and it will be
much easier to repeat, shot after shot.
Low-tension shooting is far more enjoyable,
too, and its rewards will appear on your
happy, relaxed face, as well as on your
ever-more-impressive targets.

It doesn’t take a genius to work out that the
Air Arms Pro-Sport is exactly what its
inventor, Ken Turner, said it was all those

and its enduring success says more about it
than any review ever could. The Pro-Sportis that matchless mix of style, quality and
performance that takes it to the very top of
the pastime for which it was designed. I’ve
said elsewhere in this issue that all
airgunners should own a spring-piston rifle;
I’ll now refine that by saying all airgunners
should own an Air Arms Pro-Sport.
