Well, without firearm ammo anyway.
I decided to make a new thread since this is more about shooting air rifles rather than buying my Gamo.
The point is, as you will see in the attached photo, even an inexpensive air rifle can make for good practice while you are hoarding your ammunition. And, it is much cheaper these days.
Aiirguns today are very accurate out of the box vs those of 20 years ago. Hell, even 10 years ago, a GAMO rifle was junk. Not so today. This rifle only costs $130, and if you buy a couple tins of pellets, you can get free shipping. It comes with a scope ( cheap but works) so, if you buy the pellets, when it gets to your house you are ready to shoot.

This isn't the original link. Pyramid Air is out of them so I put this link to Amazon.
Here is the target I shot this morning at 25 yards.
At this point, the gun has 150 pellets through it, the pellets came right out of the tin and were not weighed or lubed. The difference in the two impact points was that the pellets that had to be pushed forcibly into the breech struck low and those that just dropped in struck high. These probably would have been separated if I weighed out the pellets before shooting.
I used no rest but leaned over the cover on the back of my truck and shot off my elbows. That shows how accurate even inexpensive air rifles are being made these days. Sure, I could do better with my PCP guns but they cost $300 and up. I have another thread about the rifle if you want to know detail I just wanted to show how little it cost to keep shooting through the ammunition crisis.
Enjoy,
