We also have a cheap Walmart CO2 powered semi-auto bb repeater for low cost practice at home. While air powered pistols only allow practice of sight picture and trigger squeeze (not recoil managament) the low cost and every day availability are a big bonus, especially when 22LR is in short supply and centerfire pistol ammo is expensive. This also allows making shooting a big part of the home school PE curriculum. Get your kids out from in front of their electronic devices and get them shooting at home!
Given cost of gas, scheduling constraints, and ammo availability, we only average trips to the range once a month or so. But these youths are building serious skills by shooting several times a week.
