    Default do airguns help?

    Can/will shooting/practicing with airguns actuly help improve your firearm shooting? I havent shot a airgun in probley 8-9 years and due to living in surburbia and working alot don't get to shoot the real guns that often.. With that being said i was looking into airguns for back yard shooting, in short- if it can/will help with real firearms i'm willing to spend a little more.. if just the fun factor i'm going fairly cheap.... thanks

    I think practicing with an air gun can help improve your shooting skills. The principles are the same as far as obtaining a sight picture, holding a steady hand and squeezing the trigger. Plus you get to shoot in your own back yard for cheap!

    I shoot my air guns in my basement when its too cold or wet out to go shooting.
    If you know how many guns you have, you dont have enough!!

    Gun control is being able to hit your target, over and over!

    If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

    Yes. Work on sight picture, breathing, trigger control....all of everything you would work on shooting a center fire rifle you can drill yourself on with an air rifle.

    I actually did not know that. I myself have the means to practice those, as soon as I find that dang clip for my Stinger P311. I could always barrel load the thing like they did with early rifles. Doesn't produce the same power as a result, but it still works.
