CAREFUL WHISPER

While it's possible to spend a small fortune on airgun shooting, our sport still remains accessible to all.

Many shooters new to the sport will cut their teeth on airgunning via some good old-fashioned garden plinking, and today this still remains a viable, fun and safe way to introduce new people to the sport, with the gear required for this generally being fairly inexpensive.

Plinking isn't just for beginners though as it's also a great way to mentally unwind away from more challenging pursuits such as hunting or competition shooting.

Let's say you're starting out. Buying a rifle is one thing, but what about all the paraphernalia you'll need to get up and running?

Most of us need to be careful with our money, and that's where rifles like the Gamo Whisper X Swarm come into their own.

This rifle, available in .177 and .22 calibres, will put the newcomer on the road to hundreds of hours of shooting pleasure as it comes with a scope and mounts included.

But Gamo produces additional shooting products which would be ideal for a setup like the Swarm, including a spare magazine, add-on cheekpiece, sling, rifle bag, pellets and targets.
