.let them practice with the bb gun... if they do good then let em shoot the bigger one...
also, i aint sure if ya can shoot a center-fire where you are at, your house?, but those good air rifles should have the same handling sequence as a center-fire rifle.
those high power air rifles are just as capable for home defense. so dont think, or let the kids think this is a toy!!
I'm in a suburban subdivision. Shooting about 20 yards within the fenced packyard is feasible, with a good back stop, I think.
Definitely not a toy, I know. I remember being a teenager -- pre paint ball era -- shooting each other with cheap bb guns. Old spring guns and one-pump air guns that leaked, etc. But my boys will know none of this
Whatever we get will be treated as a fire arm, locked in the gun safe, used only with my supervision, etc.
