I'm also still learning the techniques involve behind air rifle shooting, but I can swear that you don't need any strength to practive this sport.
To my understanding the less strength involved the better.
To be calmed and relaxed is a lot better.

Not exactly true, I have found that a strong core and helps alot for standing, it stabilizes the whole position.
In general you want to be in good shape, I try to work out with light weights at least 3 times a week, and you also want to do some running or something I like to jumprope (thanks right I said jumprope) I can do it in my basement any time, I do that about 3 times a week as well.

I am with you, but to be in good shape is one thing and to hold a gun with muscle building strength is another, that is my point.
To be as fit as possible is what is really needed.
