Be safe.
What is your number 1 piece of airgunning advice?
Mine is directed entirely towards myself:
Never sell BKL mounts, as you only end up buying them again new (several times over with some types over the years!), and so lose more money than you made by selling the old ones!
Be safe.
If you not 100% sure what it is, don't shoot it.
Don't waste money on the next best thing...it usually isn't as good as what you already have.

Take up knitting, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper
If your going to sell ANYTHING put it away for a few week and see if you can do without it first - learnt the hard way, multiple times.

Learn for yourself exactly what your limits and capabilities are with your kit in different ( wind etc ) conditions. Er ... that's 10 out of 10 shots and not 4 out of 5 and we'll just forget about that 5th one.
Then you'll learn that Knobs and Walts mostly talk a load of b0ll0x.
Have permission to shoot where you are . lots of people just rock up and shoot where they like ."its a farmers field and we are not doing any harm" . Seen a few on my permission and when asked they give the reply in my quote.
Armed trespassing Im sure they call it .
Trespassing with an air weapon 3 months imprisonment and / or £2,500 fine.
Trespassing on private land with an air weapon 3 months imprisonment and / or £2,500 fine.
Be aware of the regulations of airgun ownership .

Hold the barrel!
Shooting at live prey is not the time or place to push your skill, shoot well within your limits.
Everything deserves a quick clean kill.
