An Air Gun Is An Efficient And Simple Way To Enjoy Shooting

if you enjoy target practice an air gun is a cheap way to spend a morning out in the great outdoors.  with ammunition costs rising for traditional guns, an air gun provides an affordable alternative without forcing you to sacrifice the thrill of a morning out in the woods plinking away at targets.

air guns cost less

when i first graduated from college, i was in a place familiar to many college graduates: i had a stack of bills to pay and a very small entry-level salary.  i wanted to continue my tradition of spending at least a few weekends in the fall season running through the woods setting up targets and knocking them down again.

i grew up in a very rural area and i got my first air gun when i was 15.  from then on, i often spent saturday mornings outside, setting up targets and seeing how far away i could get and still hit them.

i didn’t want to give that up once i came home from college.  some of my friends had purchased.22 rifles or even higher-caliber rifles, but i knew i just couldn’t afford to do something like that.  so i started browsing the air guns available, and much to my pleasure i discovered that some air guns can approach the feel and power of a higher-powered rifle.

ammunition for an air gun costs less

another advantage of using my air gun was i didn’t have to spend half of my weekly salary on ammunition.  as any shooter will tell you, some ammunition can exceed $1 per round; in contrast, i can purchase a 1000-round package of pellets for a couple of dollars.  this helped me to stretch my meager salary and still enjoy my time outdoors.

is an air gun right for you?

one thing i love about my air gun is the simplicity of use and the relatively easy learning curve.  this simplicity makes air guns a great choice for beginners or younger shooters (with supervision, of course).
