The Benelli Kite Young is a single shot .177 inch calibre pre-charged pneumatic air pistol designed for the 10 m Air Pistol ISSF shooting events. It is especially designed for use by young competitors, and those shooters who regard weight as an issue. The larger version is the Benelli Kite. It is manufactured by Benelli Armi SpA of Italy.

Design details

Like all air pistols designed for the 10 m Air Pistol event, it has fully adjustable sights, trigger and anatomically shaped grip available in three sizes and for left and right-handed shooters.

The barrel is manufactured by Lothar Walther. Air power is supplied from an under-barrel cylinder, available in three different capacities (compared to four in the Benelli Kite): intermediate (230 shots), medium (180 shots) and short (80 shots).

The Benelli Kite Young features micrometric rear sight adjustment with four settings:

1 click = 1 mm windage (left/right adjustment) at 10 metres. 1 click = 2 mm elevation (up/down adjustment) at 10 metres.

The sight aperture is adjustable by lever and screw.
