Well done for getting back into it.

I don't participate myself (work weekends and less than enthusiastic partner towards shooting), although I'd love to.

The main challenge with the springer is to try to provide that consistent platform for your rifle at all times, as the rifle will move differently under recoil with different support regimen.

If you like watching videos, have a look in on Gary Chillingworth's "Life at The Range' series for some tips etc.
