1100z FAQ
What should I do if I have accuracy issues?
If you are having issues with accuracy. Try the following:
- Make sure all your stock screws are snug.
- Experiment with which hold give you the best accuracy, then be consistent with that hold. This means to experiment with how tight you hold your rifle as well as where you position your hand on the fore end of the stock.
- Experiment with your ammunition choices. You want ammunition that fits securely in your barrel without being too loose or too snug.
- Medium weight pellets will often provide better accuracy than super light or heavy pellets.
- If you suddenly experience a loss of accuracy, double check your stock screws. If you are using a scope, it is likely failing. Use only airgun rated scopes and understand that even these will sometimes fail after thousands of shots.

Yes, slugs can be used in the 1100z. Best bet is to go on the lighter side of things if we are talking .22 caliber, we have found 22 grain and lower tends to work well, though you will probably have to experiment with diameters and tune.
