Youth Air Rifles

When choosing an air rifle for younger shooters it's important to consider the following:

• Weight- should be light enough for a young shooter to handle properly
• Length- again, length is an important factor for proper handling
• Airgun Mechanism- Multi Pump, CO2 and some break barrel air rifles are a good starting point for youth shooters
• Use- Will the airgun be used for target practice or hunting? If hunting make sure the air rifle you buy has enough power to do the job.
• Cocking Effort (break barrels)- Youth guns normally take less pressure to cock the gun. Cocking effort is found in the specs tab on our item pages.
• Scope / open sights / both- Open sights are a good tool to train a young shooter on basic shooting principles and scopes can provide more accuracy for a beginner. We've taken these factors into consideration and the following are some of our top choices for youth shooters.
