I have Crosman SS .22 CO2 gun that I use frequently. I carry it on my belt when walking in the woods. Great practice.
I also have a fine .177 target pistol, an FWB, that I shoot when our regular match season is through.
BB guns. Read in a book - forget the title - that a BB rifle is a great shotgun trainer. I took a Daisy BB lever gun, ground off the sights, added about five pounds of weight (by changing the stock and taping on 1/2 lb lead ingots) so that it is close to the weight of a 20 ga. I keep it by the door and frequently grab it, walk out and "jump shoot" at twigs, leaves, what ever. No neighbors about, just woods, so I can do this safely.
