Instructions

1. Choose a rifle for target shooting that's equal to your skill, especially if you're a beginner at this sport. For hunting and sport shooting, a semi-automatic rifle is good. If you want a very accurate and inexpensive rifle, a bolt action is your best bet.

2. Understand the way rifles operate. As a rule, rifles are more accurate than pistols and a lot more powerful. Use a .22 long rifle to be sure of hitting your mark. Known for its accuracy, this rifle shoots a small .22 bullet and has a soft kickback which means it's good for a beginner.

3. Test your skill with a bolt action rifle; one of the most reliable, accurate and powerful rifles on the market. Available in different shapes, sizes and caliber, these rifles work well for both experienced and beginner target shooters.

4. Try a pump action rifle. Known for their dependability, these rifles work by loading the magazine underneath the barrel. The magazine then pops up a round and puts it inside the barrel. The slide is pulled back and pushed forward to kick out the old round and put in a new one.

5. Know that air rifles are the most commonly used rifle for target shooting in arcades. Pneumatic air rifles are manually cocked with a lever each time you shoot. Compressed air rifles have a tank of compressed air under the barrel and don't require manual cocking.

6. Improve shooting skill before coming face to face with the real thing by taking advantage of free target shooting games on the Internet.
