That is exactly where I am headed. I spend an hour an the local Amish Archery and Air Gun store (I know): he had every form of archery product but also does muzzle loaders and Air Rifles
I've know him for a long time and he knows his stuff.
He politely asked me to put the cross-bow down
Then asked, "Is Jack around to help?"
Honestly is often a dish served cold.
His concern was for larger GH's; an air rifle may not be enough in his mind for an ethical shot at the ranges we discussed.
I am headed over to a friends farm tomorrow that has a bolt action .22 that can use sub-sonic .22LR and has a suppressor.
I have a few old .22LR rifles I will take with me since he seems to think I could have a gunsmith add threading to the rifle barrels for a suppressor. I really do not need another rifle of any kind so I am willing to try.
Thank you all for the input...greatly appreciated.
We'll see.
