do i NEED 2 air rifles ? ? ?

[Highlander]

My .22 air rifle and 175lb Crossbow [ with bradheads ] will be kept mainly for taking game,.. for security we have two hand held crossbows,.. these are well worth looking at, because they are very cheap to buy, and although small, they do pack a punch, and will certainly put a man down,.. bolts are also very cheap to buy.

Its worth thinking about the caliber of the rifle before you buy,.. a .22 is a bit less accurate, but packs a heavier punch,..where as a .177 is more accurate but doesn't hit as hard,...it depends on where, how and at what you think you might be shooting

I am going to look into buying a simple hunting bow, of the standard type as well, cross bows are good, but are not re-loaded very fast
