Re: Why Airguns make sense.

Great questions! Shows you are
thinking.<br><br>Your primary goal in becoming a good shot is to
develope consistancy. From Stance, Grip, Trigger Control
on Follow Thru. Due to extremely long barrel time
nothing requires better follow thru than does air gun
shooting. The firmness of your grip should be the same for
all pistols you are shooting. While you certainly can
learn all the skills with the .22 I think you will
progress faster with regular Air gun practice, than you
will without it. <br><br>Take a basic marksmanship
course if you can. I have known many top shooters that
were self taught. All readily admit that they would
have taken much less time and spend thousands less had
they had good coaching from the start.<br><br>I think
you made a good choice in a .22 to start out with by
choosing the MkII. Did you get one of the Bull Barrel
models?<br><br>Good luck and above all, be safe and have fun! If you
get stuck fell free to ask questions.

Buy a good Air pistol and start practicing. Don't know how silly the NY laws are but you should not need to ask permission to buy an Air gun!...
