Some shooting authorities argue that airguns are not suitable for hunting. Generally these persons are not familiar with the power, penetration and accuracy of the top modern sporting air rifles. With a good scope sight on one of these “magnum” air rifles, you can concentrate on head shots and make clean kills, or clean misses, on such game as squirrels, rabbits, etc. There are just too many shooters, around the world, having good success with potent adult air rifles as hunting tools to deny this as a viable sport. And, most of these shooters are hunting where firearm hunting simply wouldn’t be possible!
