Beginner’s Guide: Best Air Guns And Air Rifles For Target Practice
by Brittany W. Content WriterBuying real rifles can be costly because of the equipment and ammo involved. Using air rifles and guns is the cheaper alternative, especially if you only intend to use them at a shooting range in Florida. Other uses of air guns include pest control and paintball battles. You can also use them to teach new shooters about gun safety and responsibility. These guns consist of pellets and gas-based propellers that fire the pellets. It’s important to note that while pellets are arguably safer than real bullets, they can still cause injuries and even death so should be handled with care. Here are some pellet guns and rifles beginners can use for practice:
Air Guns For Shooting Range
Air guns are lighter than rifles because they don’t involve other attachments like a scope or holds. This makes pellet guns easier to use and practice with. Here are some models you should try if you are a beginner:
Colt Defender Pistol
Colt Defender is a good pellet pistol with a 16 shot BB magazines and a decent CO2 cartridge that can fire up to 450 feet per second. And despite this power, it’s a light model that weighs only 1.6 pounds which makes it easy to hold and shoot with. It comes with front and rear sights that make aiming easier. It is made with high-grade plastic and can fire up to 100 rounds before losing some power.

It looks like a real gun and comes with an indicator to let you know if the safety is off. You can also attach additional features like lasers and flashlights.
Air Rifles For Shooting Range
While pellet guns are lighter than rifles, they also carry less ammo. Which is why many people prefer air rifles for target practice or plinking in the backyard. Here are some models you should try if you are a beginner:
Crosman Pneumatic Pump Air Rifle .177 Caliber
This pump rifle looks real and can shoot pellets at up to 600 FPS and BBs at 625 FPS at max capacity. It comes with a removable magazine that makes reloading pellets and BBs easier and faster. Its pic-rail makes it easier to attach lasers, flashlights and scopes if needed. You can attach up to 10 pumps but 5 pumps are ideal for best performance. Its adjustable stock makes it easier to use by different people. Some care is needed because of its plastic pieces that can be damaged after continuous use.
Gamo Big Cat 1250 Air Rifle
If you are looking for something powerful then this .177 caliber air rifle is it with shots fired at 1000 to 1250 FPS for lead pellets and PBA platinum pellets respectively. It comes with a scope capable of 4x magnification for improved accuracy. The stock is made of tough materials suited for any weather and has cheek pads on both sides for ambidextrous use. Its butt pad absorbs the shock from recoil making the rifle easier to use. But because of its power, it needs to be handled with care and should be kept away from children.
You can use these pellet guns and rifles instead of real models at a shooting range in Florida. Remember that while pellets are safer than real ammo, they can injure and kill people and should be handled with care. While the federal law doesn’t include air guns and rifles under the firearms category, some states and local governments restrict its use.
