Why We Recommend .22 First for Kids and Teens

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A Common Question from Parents:

“Is it safe for my child to try shooting?”

At Mabali Sports Shooting Club, we understand the hesitation. That’s why we’ve designed a safe, structured, and age-appropriate approach — starting with the .22 caliber rifle.


🔍 Why the .22?

âś… Low Recoil

Kids won’t be overwhelmed by the shock. The .22 feels smooth — no kickback, no intimidation.

âś… Quiet Sound

Compared to 9mm or .30 bore, the .22 is much quieter. That makes it perfect for first-timers who might get nervous with loud bangs.

âś… Lightweight and Easy to Handle

The rifle is designed for easy grip and posture training, ideal for smaller frames and less upper body strength.

âś… Builds Confidence, Not Fear

Starting with a .22 teaches discipline and control without fear. Kids learn the importance of focus, posture, and safety from Day 1.


đź§’ Who Is It For?

  • Kids aged 10+
  • Teens who are curious but cautious
  • Families looking for active and mindful experiences

🎯 What They’ll Learn

  • Trigger discipline
  • Breathing and aim control
  • Respect for equipment and rules
  • Mental focus and emotional regulation

📌 Safety is Non-Negotiable

We ensure:

  • One-on-one supervision
  • Complete safety gear
  • Briefing before every session
  • Parental presence encouraged

đź’¬ Final Thoughts from the Range

Shooting doesn’t have to be a taboo for kids — when taught with ethics, safety, and structure, it becomes an empowering sport. We’ve seen shy teens walk off the range with glowing confidence — and that’s why we always start them with a .22.
