Whether you’ve just picked up your first air rifle or air pistol, or you’re getting serious about improving your accuracy and enjoyment in the field or on the range, the right accessories will make all the difference. At Solware Ltd, we stock a wide range of essential gear designed to support beginners and experienced shooters alike – from optics to maintenance kits.
Here are our top five must-have accessories that every new shooter should consider.
1. High-Quality Pellets
Good pellets are the foundation of consistent shooting performance. The right pellet type and weight can dramatically improve grouping and accuracy at your chosen distances.
New shooters should explore pellet options that suit their gun type and intended use, whether for target shooting or pest control.

2. Reliable Optics (Scopes & Sights)
A telescopic sight or optic takes your shooting experience to the next level by helping you pick up targets more clearly and aim with precision. Whether you’re shooting targets at 25 metres or more, a good scope minimises guesswork and improves accuracy.
Solware offers a wide range of optics – from budget-friendly scopes to advanced red-dot and thermal options – so you can match your air rifles accessory to your shooting style.

3. Targets & Target Holders
Practising regularly and tracking your progress matters. Quality targets give instant visual feedback on your accuracy, and target holders keep them safely in place.
From reactive targets to standard paper or metal designs, adding training targets to your kit helps accelerate skill development and make sessions more engaging.

4. Cleaning & Maintenance Kits
Keeping your airgun clean and well-maintained is essential for reliability and long-term performance. A good cleaning kit typically includes brushes, rods, patches and solvents designed to remove lead fouling and debris – especially after heavy use.
Routine maintenance will help your rifle or pistol stay accurate and extend its service life.
