As with anything else, it's harder to change bad habits than learn good ones to begin with.

If you've shot quite a bit before then go nuts, but if you are a first time shooter I believe you really should start with a 22 and learn the right way.

Just my 2c.
It's such a good wide use size too..
Was my pick from dad's collection unless we ment business..
Then it was the double barrel under over shot gun..
Didn't use the 223 to much.. just didn't need it..
