Help! We all need it at some time. The Beatles did, and they made a fortune from singing about it. Ah, when I was young and so much younger than today-ay-ay.... but, before I digress, if you mess up when setting up your shooting kit, singing about the results are usually that last thing you want to do.

The problems start before you even buy your kit. What do you want it for, back yard plinking, pest control, target shooting? No matter how much you spend you must get the right kit for the job. A state-of-the-art FT Rifle can cost over £1,500, fully kitted. If you are, like many of us, on a tight budget, then there are some half-way kits that can do very nicely for both pest control and target work, but you still need to spend a few hundred. Have a look at the guides herein and decide what you need to do. If you already have your cherished kit, then perhaps you will glean something from this that "magically" makes it work better!
