Lots of good advice here guys ...My advice (as a hunter esp) with my air rifles is to set up your paper/cans etc for the distances you will be shooting at AND the aim point. I shoot alotta starlings and such in grass that covers half their bodies or squirrels up in trees/poles. 40 yards is all they'll let me get to em usually, then they scatter. So 40 yard zero on the S510. I also use uncluttered reticles 9 to 16x mag range medium height mounts, and hold over as required. I like to keep hunting simple. I got into 'bench' shooting last year and it's addictive but it's just not real world to me. I will support my guns off trees/poles, a knee etc when hunting usually. I have my breathing down pat and I recommend challenging yourself once in a while! Last year as summer wound down I was looking for a little more of a challenge @ 40 yards so I started shooting my brother's empty 9mm shells. Filled em with water and I recall hitting 5 in a row! 9x scope/foam blocks/crappy $40 folding table. Shotgun shells were too easy actually. Lastly go into your shooting session expecting first to have some fun and secondly get some good groups. Less stress usually equals better groups.
