    My general advice is if you are really budget constrained and must shoot .22 for livefire practice, shoot a bit of centerfire. Pick out things that aren't working well and how you aim to improve. Then practice THAT on the .22. It'll be less bad. 

    What raz-0 said. If budget is an issue and you are learning/practicing the fundamentals. 

    In my case, back in 2006,I really wanted a 22lr and a 9mm,  I only had the budget for 1 pistol so I picked a 9mm. I dry fired the heck out of it. practicing stance, grip, sight alignment and trigger squeeze. Borrowed books from the library to read on fundamentals and techniques. By the time I found time to get to the range (months after), I had a good grip on the fundamentals that I even surprised myself when I fired the pistol for the first time. I kept up with the dry fire, going to the range rarely, just to make sure the gun is functional. If you dry fire, with the same pistol, focusing on the fundamentals, you can get to a point when you can select a target across the room like the coffee pot, close your eyes, draw, aim and squeeze and open your eyes to find out that the pot would have been holed if the gun had a loaded magazine for real. Of course, practice common sense gun safety, make sure, very sure that the gun is unloaded. 

     Now that I have the funds to buy the 22, I don't really have the urge since I can shoot my one and only pistol very well. I still do dry fire, everytime I open the safe. Again, practicing common sense gun safety at all times I have it on my possession.

    Here they are...

    This close... you just wring it's neck. Seriously, a 22 lr should work as long as you are patient enough to get them close to you for a head/neck shot. Used to shoot undomesticated chicken with .22 air rifle, iron sights. Wait till its really out in the open so you can see where it finally falls.

    Lol been watching to much smokey n the bandit...

    Nope. CB is more effective than my Valentine 1 when on the interstate highways. Truckers and others with CB exchange info as to wherethe bears are exactly.

    Now on detectors , the Valentine's directional arrows and counters really makes a difference especially at night in an unfamiliar area.
