| I am new to air gun competition and am looking at getting my kids involved with the local 4H Shooting Sports. I would like to find a starter rifle and was looking at the Avanti 853 but can only find it online. I would like to see the rifle in person, does anyone know of a store in Minnesota that carries these types of rifles? |

It seems like 4H shooting sports are most popular in the western counties, with a hotbed in the Rochester area. Call up your county extension office (phone book blue pages under county government). Ask for the nearest 4H shooting sports project leader. Failing that, ask to be put in touch with the 4H shooting sports program director in St. Paul.
853's are pretty common in 4H, and I wouldn't be surprised if a project leader had one that you could try. Retailers mostly carry springers, from what I've seen.
Waseca County hasn't had an active program for over five years, and my kids grew up. When we were active, we were thrilled any time someone showed interest, even if it was a "try it and see" visit. I don't believe you need to join a club to be involved in a project specific activity like shooting sports.

| Not real close. I live 50 miles north of the cities but work in Shakopee. I would be willing to make the drive if there is someplace to find one. |
