husband got a pellet gun. Not CO2 powered, just air powered. He also got the lowest power pellets (12 something or other - grams? grains??) that go with it.
We are legally allowed to shoot these on our property as we are outside the city limits. While we have neighbors on either side, the property right behind us is just a field. So we won't hit a building if we set up a target behind the house.
What should we use to set up a target? A couple of bales of hay and paper targets? That way the pellets would all be in something, no just travelling until they hit something or just stopped.
Does anyone have any other ideas?? I want us all to be able to safely use the pistol just in case we need to use it. Never ever thought I would have to teach my kids to fire any kind of gun to protect themselves. Not against shooting, but always thought of it for target practice or maybe hunting game, not against any kind of threat.
