Plus if you have to you can make bad guy go bye bye
My high school had a 10-position rifle range in the basement where we fired .22 long rifle....the guns stayed there but I've read on here of people bringing their guns to school. One guy said he had to shoot dinner on the way home from school every night or else the family didn't eat, so starting at age 6 he always carried his rifle.
1st gun my dad bought me as a kid was a semi auto .22 Marlin. Ive owned various guns since then, but that one still really is an old friend. An extension of my arm. l can take the date off a dime with it. I dont know why, but l cant say (or do )the same about the much more inexpensive, higher-tech other guns ive bought over the years.
Just a hunch, when you were a kid you were probably sighting down the side of the barrel and not really giving the sights too much attention, at least that's what I did. When it, as you say, becomes "an extension of your arm", point shooting is danged accurate.
Probably that, l've had it so long and am so used to it that its like second nature when l shoot with it. The other ones ive had or own, im always ajusting the sights, fiddling with different grips etc. Theyre nicer, more stopping power, cooler looking but not the same.This one is like that old ball glove thats formed to your hand and you just know you'll scoop up everything with it, if you know what l mean.
.22's are awesome super cheap to plink away with.
