A guy I know that has shot at the air gun ranges in TV. At the Soaring Eagles ball field located off Morse Blvd just north of CR 44 is one of the air gun ranges. On Monday and Tuesday mornings they shoot matches and I believe he said on Wednesday is set up for introducing new shooters to the sport. Also Rohan Rec Ctr has air guns, pellets and targets you can sign for to use at the air gun range. Best to go to one of the matches and talk with the competitors to determine what air gun you should look at. Depending on how deep into the competition you want to go will determine how much money you will need to spend on a suitable rifle. After talking with the competitors and if you decide it is something you would like to dive deep into go with the adage, "buy once, cry once". Top level air guns aren't cheap but they are extremely high quality and are very economical to shoot. I've been considering looking into it myself but I have a pretty full plate already with my shooting competitions.
