>Is there something in between air rifle and a .22 caliber?
CO2 powered air rifles are pretty accurate and can generally be dialed back to cut down on range. When I was a kid we had a pistol range in the basement. .22 is a good target rifle and generally shoots on a 50 ft range ( 10 ring on bullseye about .25 inches ) but you still need serious backstopping, even with target loads.
You might want to check with the local Boy Scout council. They would probably know as well as anyone what is available locally.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
