Times have changed and there is no way I can afford to live rural so I am raising towny kids unfortunatly, it is what it is tho and I try and get them away from the tv/computer screens as much as possible (under protest usually yet they have fun when out doing whatever).
I had a Gamo air rifle (1000fps advertised) and its noise and recoil/vibration was far in excess of a 22lr subsonic suppressed.
So I tried getting the kids on the JW 15, they shot it a few times and had fun but couldn't hold or aim the rifle at all, it was just too big in every way.
So far they are loving the Savage Rascal, but I am sure any similarly scaled rifle would be just as good.
The Rascal is not suppressed but as it fitts them properly wearing earmuffs is not so much of an issue.
