SIGHTING-IN YOUR GUN
The first step in proper sight alignment is to determine the
shot grouping of your new Winchester Air Rifle. To do this, posi-
tion a rest, such as a table or bench, 33 feet from your target.
Place your rifle on the rest and aiming at the same point on the
target each time, fire three shots. Do not attempt to make any
adjustments during the three shots. At this point you are only
interested in how well your shots group. Once you have deter-
mined the grouping ability of you and your pistol, you can then
adjust your sights to bring the group on target.
NOTE: It may
be necessary for each person shooting your Daisy air gun to
realign the sights to fit his sight pattern.
NOTE: Some guns
have fixed sights and cannot be adjusted.

• Thrust the left hip forward, lower the gun to shoulder height, and with the left elbow directly
under the gun, let the left upper arm rest against your body.
• The forearm of the gun should be supported in the palm of the left hand. (Thumb and fingertips,
if using the NRA standing position.)
• Shift your weight to the left foot and lean your upper body away from the target.To assume the
other positions:
(It should be noted again that left hand shooters reverse these directions when assuming the
following positions.)
PRONE
• Half face to the right, then lie at an angle of about 45 degrees to the line of fire. The left leg
should be completely relaxed. The right leg should angle away from the spine, and may be bent
or straight. The feet should be as flat on the ground as possible.
SITTING
• Half face to the right, then in the low position, cross your legs in front of you with the outside of
each foot resting on the ground and supporting the knees. Elbows should be placed near the
knees, forming triangles to support the rifle.
In the high position, legs are not crossed; the feet are well spread, with the heels braced, and
the body leaning forward so the elbows may be braced by the knees.
KNEELING
• Half face to the right and drop to the right knee. In the low position, the left foot should be
extended as far forward as is comfortable, while the right leg is flat on the ground with the shoot-
er sitting on the side of his foot. In the high position, the shooter sits on his right
heel.
