Interesting piece.

I am sure these kind of discussions will help all aspiring shooters.

Its the artillery hold piece... very interesting, I didnt know about it till I joined IFG... its been discussed on the forum.

An alternative is to modify the springer so that it becomes (in effect) an artillery piece... then it should no longer be "hold sensitive". For example, the Diana RWS 54. the part about recoil starts at 02:24

full_circle,

There is a video on Pyramydair about the artillery hold. Tom Gaylord has explained it really well. Worth a look.

Here is the video from Pyramyd Air on Artillery Hold.

Very interesting, also I would recommend fellow IFGians to hold their Springers and try to follow the steps that are being instructed while the video is playing.

It actually works :cheers:
