The .22 air rifle has an effective shooting range of about 60 yards. Much beyond that the pellet lacks the velocity to fly level, and lacks the speed to be effective for hunting.

What is the effective range of an air rifle?
Air rifles ranges vary depending on they're caliber, power, power plant and the pellet being used. It also depends on your application, The hunting range of an airgun is usually less than the target range. For a .177 caliber air rifle shooting at 1000 fps your maximum hunting range is probably about 40 yards. Your target range is probably about 100 yards max, since you don't need the power to take down the game at that range. For a .22 caliber air rifle shooting about 800- 1000 (with a 14.3 grain pellet) Your hunting range is more based on your gun's accuracy, than it is power. I would say the max is about 75 yards. Target could be about 130 yards or more. For a big bore, your range is usually about 100 yards or more depending on the game.

What is the difference between a gun used in the biathlon and a relgular gun?
Not sure what a regular gun is- but biathlon rifles are fairly heavy very accurate .22 caliber target rifles. They have precision made barrels and triggers, and sights that are designed for shooting at specific targets. They are not made for long range shooting, or hunting large animals. I shoot a similar rifle (but from a bench rest, not skis!)- those rifles are capable of shooting 5 bullets into one slightly ragged hole at 50 meters. However, I would not like to carry one all day when hunting- they are very heavy.
