I live in the country and can fire whatever I want whenever I want. Still I enjoy shooting airguns just for the fun of it.
They are quieter thus I don’t have to wear my ear muffs. They can be very accurate and powerful enough for small game.
I have no interest in those heavy caliber, powerful airguns but there are models which will kill anything.
For one thing, I burn my trash but before I put empty pressurized spray cans in the fire, I shoot a hole through them with an air gun. It keeps them from exploding.
I could use a .22LR but the air gun is so much cheaper and less bother.
Yeah I used to live on 15 acres and could shoot any gun I wanted. But then we had to move to the suburbs and that freedom was taken away so airguns are my only means of immediate gratification. I even have an air-shotgun for those pests I need to shoot safely without a backstop.
