Stock
the wooden part by which a shoulder arm is held during firing
Pistol Grip
a grip in a rifle handle shaped like a pistol stock to hold the frontage of the rifle
Safety
a block or latch that prevents the trigger and/or firing mechanism from moving, and a device that disconnects the trigger from the firing mechanism of the firearm.
Trigger Guard
a loop that surrounds the trigger of a firearm to help prevent an unintended pulling of the trigger.
Trigger
a small curved lever that when pulled activates the firing mechanism of the gun to fire a cartridge.
Scope Mount
Scope mounts are rigid implements used to attach (typically) a telescopic sight or other types of optical sights onto a firearm.
Compression Cylinder
energy from compressed air or other gases that are mechanically pressurized and then released to propel and accelerate projectiles
Barrel
The metal tube through which a projectile or shot charge is fired. May be rifled or smooth.
Sight On
A sight on is a device used to line up the muzzle with the shooter's eye so that he or she can hit the target. Sights are more critical on a firearm that fires a single projectile
Muzzle
helps to diminish the felt recoil or reactionary force produced by the “action” or firing of the round.
Health Benefits
Using An Air Rifle Can Also Have Health Benefits. Shooting An Air Rifle Requires Concentration, Focus, And Physical Exertion, Which Can Help Improve Your Hand-Eye Coordination, Mental Acuity, And Physical Fitness. Additionally, Spending Time Outdoors While Shooting Can Be An Excellent Way To Get Some Fresh Air And Exercise.
Fine-tuning your fitness
Increased strength, stamina, balance, hand/eye coordination and fine motor skills are just some of the benefits.
Mental processing
Some say shooting is 90% mental and 10% ability. In order to be successful, you first have to asses and control all variables such as timing, reading the wind etc. All before performing the physical skill of getting into position, pulling the trigger and following-through.
Adrenaline addiction
When taking to the firing line, there is undoubtedly a spike in adrenaline. Increased levels of adrenaline will signal your liver that it’s time to start breaking down glycogen. This is a substance that provides your body with glucose, the main source of energy for the body. This increase in energy levels releases the feel good endorphin, serotonin. Serotonin contributes to that feeling of happiness and can be a powerful, rewarding emotion.
Developing self-discipline
Target shooting is pivotal for developing skills such as self-discipline. Discipline is necessary to fire one shot after another with consistent and proper technique. While many shooters develop a shot plan or routine, it takes self-discipline to execute that routine consistently. This is particularly true in a competition setting when the pressure is high and there are always distractions.
