Good evening everyone.
When I was a kid, I didn't have a proper gun so I did some crazy redneck stuff like building homemade and very unsafe guns. I want to avoid this same fate for my brother.
My brother just turned 16 and I already gave him a crossbow last year. He proved himself a very prudent shooter and a good hunter, but he avoid hunting because the bolts are expensive for his pocket money and he is quite shy about asking me for new bolts or even things that he needs in general.
But now I want to give him a proper gun, so he can hunt small game with me. My parents don't have the budget to buy this kind of stuf for him but they liked the idea and they already gave me a thumbs up.
My question is: Should I give him a pellet gun or a bb gun? Which one will be cheaper for him to maintaing and buy ammo? And last question, should I give him a PCP and a hand pump or a springer? He is fairly strong and I think that he can handle the effort of cocking even a magnum springer.
It's for bunny sized prey only. Maybe some birds here and there.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
