Gamo makes a good air rifle. The shadow is a good one to get. Gamo is good for plinking or small game hunting. Gamo' s are not air, they are spring loaded and very strong. Some of the guns reach over 1000 fps. You really can' t go wrong with buying one of these guns, but they are both powerful and fast pellet rifles and 10 yards is hardly enough to do this gun any justice.
