Do you have a starp across the back of the rifle? Do you use the front strap?
Have you tried differnt pellets?
What pellets are you using?
How big are the groups?
Definitely a lot better than the last target.

Before you do, be aware that a lot of ppl don't think you should use cleaning rods in air rifles and pull throughs are thier choice.
Some ppl say you don't clean an air rifle barrel till it's accuracy goes.
After you clean it will will need to fire a 20 odd shots through it to relead the barrel (that's how many I do)
You can look up cleaning air rifle barrels on Web. Don't just read one, you need to read a few as there are a few differnt reasons why people think differnt things.
I'll be interested to see what the twist rate is on your rifle. Check it's not on barrel, but I think that's more cartridge rifles.
Also the pellets out of air rifles are can fly strait without rifling thier shape is very stable, however the twist helps to over come the air making the pellet unstable as it pushes past as it leaves the barrel. Has other advantages in flight too. If your rifle has strait rifling by some wierd chance I'd think about changing barrels.
Its something for ball shot which is a totally differnt dynamic for flight.

WinkWinkWinkThanks, that is a brilliant idea. By the way, I haven't clean my guns since I got them. Should buy a clean set someday.

I've also been looking at strait rifling it's a shotgun thing. Also used in muzzle loaders that are shooting ball. Stops uneven pressure in on ball in muzzle loader and supposedly tightens shot out of a shot gun.
It is not a rifle thing.Good to see you looking up stuff cuterabbit.
Youll need to be more specific in your searches.
Wikipedia is OK but bit general.

Modern pellet rifles all have rifled barrels.
They don’t have straight lines, as they need to make the pellet twist.

So you’ll find either angle / twist rifling or smooth bore. Smooth bore likely only guns like Daisy Red Rider BB gun
J S Airguns
Air Arms TX200('s)
Theoben Sirocco
HW77
FWB 300s
Webley Patriot
One or two others...

Current projects:
Too many..
