Shoot your gun a lot. Once you know your rifle, you will be able to do some amazing things with it. Practice all the time. Use different ammo. Your rifle may like one more than another. Never dryfire your .22. When I was young, we had BB guns. I fired thousands of BBs from it and pretty much wore it out. When I got a .22, I did the same thing.
