Welcome to IFG, Anirban.
Regards
Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Hello,
I have a local made air rifle (.177) and a air pistol (.22) both are break barrel. Generally I practice target shooting in my home. It's not affordable for me to buy costly air rifles, so my question is, using this very low end rifle / pistol can I participate in any competition? Is these spring piston rifles are at all allowed in competitions? can I join any rifle shooting club with these low end rifles? Minimum how much (approx) should I have to spend to purchase an air rifle which is allowed in competitions? I will appreciate if anybody can put some light on these topics. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anirban Das

Hi Anirban,
Welcome to IFG, hope you have a good time here.

You certainly do have a lot of questions.... unfortunately I am not qualified to answer any of those; take heart though, there are plenty of experienced members who will be pleased to guide you.

Welcome aboard Anirban. Enrol yourself into a rifle club and learn to shoot with the airguns there. See how you fare and then take a call about buying your own stuff. All the best.
