Are they difficult to use in general, aiming and accuracy?

Can be till you find a frame you can get on with, then it’s learning where your aiming point is. Always plenty of chances on walks for shots as well

Any tips on self teaching how to use it

When i was around 8 years old, more than 50 years ago now, My grandad made me a catapult. he walked to the bottom of his garden and put an old penny in a slot on the fence post at the bottom, then said "Don't come back in until your sure you can hit hit when i come back out with you" Lol.

Don't just shoot ground targets and defo not waste hight targets. You don't see much quarry sat on a fence post lol. Get some targets up in the tree canopies that's where most feather quarry an greys will be. Moving targets too because alot of quarry doesn't just wait for you to take your shot atb though mate
