[QUOTE="Oak_Leaf, post: 2993538, member: 128477"] For learning marksmanship skills, starting with aiir rifles and 22LR was good advice. You can get a lot of practice without going broke. A good shooter can surprise you with a 22LR. The main thing you'll learn with slower calibers is follow through - which is basically maintaining position until the bullet hits target. So, so important. You'd be surprised how easy it is to move/react before the bullet leaves the barrel in slower calibers. Some of the best all around shooters I know learned on slower calibers. Ill add tthat if you can shoot a quality spring piston air rifle well, you can shoot anything else great. I used to shoot springers competitively, and when I started focusing more on regular firearms, honestly, it was easy. To transfer over to powder burners, theres different equipment, additional techniques, and learning reloading, but the basic skills transfer. Spring pistons can be very hold sensitive, and you'll learn to become completely "silent" with you body. You dont have to have springer to learn this, but it can sure speed up the process. [/QUOTE]
