Episode 37 – Rimfire
Rimfire Firearms are great for many things, but they may not be the best choice for defense. While there are other options when I refer to rimfire, consider that .22 cal. Like I said above the mighty .22 may not be the man stopper but it is a great and cheap training tool.
As always, if you aren’t already familiar with proper gun handling and use please get trained first. I will have links to training and bulk ammo below.
I don’t remember how heavily I emphasized it in the podcast but one of the best ways to build marksmanship is to use a single shot .22 and lots of practice. This is how you will develop proper and lasting technique that will last a lifetime.

BulkAmmo.com good ammo at cheap prices. Check them out they seem like good people and I won a contest of theirs. Their customer service was awesome x 2. Remember you will need to practice a lot to become good.
I can’t believe I forgot to mention this organization in the podcast but The Appleseed Project is a great travelling group that teaches rifle marksmanship at great prices. If I recall correctly kids and women are free. I plan on doing one of these classes this year.
More advanced training and tactical training is offered by James Yeager and his crew at Tactical Response, check them out.
Another good show, Brian. Loved shooting the .22 when I was a kid. Haven’t shot one in a long time now. I wish I had time to go send a bunch of lead at a suspicious looking piece of paper. .22 ammo is a lot cheaper than the 7.62X54R!
