Make sure you have a backstop so your shots don't go into your neighbors yards. Also, buy little targets and practice. Shooting a real firearm/air rifle is nothing like call of duty. For one thing, the sights sway up and down, and you are going to hit everything you point at everytime because of this. To reduce sway, prone and crouching work, but the best is to rest the front of the rifle on something, such as a log pile or a backpack. do not try to shoot at running animals, that's what a shotgun is for.
