| Got a new gun and put a scope on it, its a Daisy 856 its not a great but it should shoot better than this. I can group some shots within a dimes size then some shots go everywhere but, they all stay in about a 3-4 inch group. Now I haven't cleaned the gun and I've got a good mind that the original owner never did either, could that set the accuracy off this much? I'll try to get a cleaning kit for it tomorrow sometime and see if the accuracy improves. Is there anything else I could do to improve it or at least make it semi-normal? |

| Well I took it out back and shot a couple of the rounds the gun came with, they shot worse. This would have discouraged me but I began to think, if a pellet can shoot worse than the ones before surley one can shoot better! Now I just have to find that which shoots better. |

If that doesn't help make sure you check position, grip, trigger finger, etc. Most important thing: Don't think! 
If you can't hit the target you can always throw it. It's what I do!  |
