air rifles for traing youngsters and hunting

[kennacl55]

I purchased an benjamin discovery 22cal. to teach my grand daughter safe gun handling and also to hunt squirrel with. This air rifle is super accurate and a pleasure to shoot. Im precharging with co2 for ease of use. Im writing this more or less to help anyone who is considering an air rifle as a training device or hunting rifle for young shooters . It shoots the JSb match exact jumbo 15.89gr. pellets with unbelievable accuracy.This gun is fairly loud, has a decent trigger,safety is at rear of trigger guard which I like,and doesn't weigh very much.

My father started me off with a "sawed" down Red Ryder killing cans and bottles and then I graduated to a "Springer" and that was a game changer! Air rifles are a excellent tool for starting a child off right!
