Recoil: .22 caliber firearms have less recoil than larger caliber firearms, making it ideal for beginners and those who want to reduce recoil while shooting.

Recoil with a .22? I started my grand daughter shooting at age 8 because there was NO recoil.

She is now the best shot in our family and almost an Olympic class shooter.

Side note: I worked at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for many years. The housekeeping and general staff there said the shooters were the most mannerly competitors they had.

My Dad taught me to shoot on a bolt action single shot .22. I’m still a much better shot with a rifle than a pistol.
