.177 or .22 FT lbs

Everyone hope all is well.
Started last fall shooting again when I showed up for the smallbore state championship in AZ last year. I have a question concerning silhouette air rifle. If one uses .177 or .22 is there a foot pound maximum due to the possibility of target damage? Also, is there such a thing or demand for air rifle nationals? Just curious on last question.
I have a .22 Umarex Origin (Tack driver) and a solid QB 79 that has a paintball bottle. I Have had the QB for several years and is extremely accurate at 10 meters (750 FPS) in .177. Reason being the Origin even with hammer spring is turned all the way down is still up there on ft lbs.
Thanks
