I would recommend going the TV air gun range and talking to the shooters. The serious shooter use Finwerkbau or Anschutz also you can only shoot .177 flat pellets. The rifles are expensive but are really nice. Once you shoot with them, you will not like the cheaper rifles.

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.

Air guns
If you go to the Soaring Eagles range Monday or Tuesday you will find folks there with more information than you ever wanted on airguns. Some will let you shoot guns.
The club also gets discounts from vendors and someone in the club is always selling something and you may be able to pick up a deal there. You can also get a lot of good info on the The Villages Air Gun Club - Home the only difference between men and boys is just the price of there toys. Come out and take a look. |

Stop by the range of your choice. That’s what I did. I was lucky to find a club member selling a gun. Everyone at the range is friendly and very helpful. Also visit the club website. I also found a website called. Champions choice. They have a great assortment of air guns for sale. It’s a great hobby and a bunch of fun. Good luck.

air gun
Hi I have a rifle and pistol that was recommended by the air gun club. Have not looked at it in a couple years, went to archery instead. More than happy to have you try them out, if you like them we will make a deal. Otherwise, costs you nothing. PM me if interested. cwilson01@snet.net

Thinking about my old air rifle (60 or so years ago) and do not remember anything coming out of it.
Is it possible that all it did was make noise upon firing? |
