When you pull the trigger, the piston drives a column of air that pushes the projectile down the barrel. Spring guns are self-contained, need no CO2 or air tank, and are easy to keep shooting.About the CaliberThe .177 caliber (4.5 mm) is the most common airgun caliber. Its light, fast projectiles shoot flat, which makes it a favorite for target shooting, plinking and small pests at modest ranges.Specifications ExplainedDaisy rates velocity at 240 feet per second (fps).

Learn how it works from the owner's manual before loading.Daisy recommends this product for ages 16 Years and older with adult supervision.Getting Started and CareBefore the first session, read the owner's manual, check that the gun is unloaded, and set up a safe backstop or pellet trap. Shoot from a rest to confirm where the gun hits at your usual distance, then adjust the sights or scope.Try several brands and weights of quality .177 pellets of the type the manufacturer lists. Airguns often prefer one pellet over another, and finding it is the quickest way to tighter groups.Spring guns recoil forward and back, so a light, repeatable hold gives the best groups. Never dry-fire a spring gun, and don't leave it cocked for long periods.What You Will Want With ItEye protection for the shooter and anyone nearbyA pellet or BB trap rated for the gun's power, or a safe backstopPaper targets or reactive targetsSafety and Local LawsTreat every airgun as if it were loaded, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, and keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot.
