22 Pistol Target Shooting - Rookie Shooter

Hard to imagine this being her second shoot, but it is. Lina's second shoot meet started off with a bang and only got better from here, though she is still a little bit hesitant around the larger weapons.

you're very responsibe with the gun, i respect that.

I learned from police, and I pass on those safety and responsibility lessons to all shooters I practice with. No sense taking chances on getting shot in a friendly fire incident.

@InsanePickle007 If you tried taking out a deer with a .22 pistol, chances are very slim that you would actually kill it - you couldn't get close enough to ensure a kill shot. Others you could kill, but it would take hours for death. Certain animals are impossible to kill with most common calibers - elk, for one, have enough hide and muscle that they can simply absorb multiple .22 rounds.

When I asked that question, it came with the unstated caveat 'reasonably kill'. Always use big enough guns.

@CSSstravag Well then why would you say hunting anything except for small animals with a 22 pistol is useless?? 

[CSSstravag]

@InsanePickle007 Oh yes, this I know.

@CSSstravag a gun is a gun. Trust me, getting shot with ANY gun, is bad.

Well, you don't start a greenhorn (and one that weighs less than I can bench-press) on a 1911.

Other than squirrel or rabbit, what would you hunt with a short-barrel 22 pistol?
