Love the smiles on Shubair and Shane's faces.

And that, me mucker, is precisely the point I wanted to make with that photo. It must be enjoyable! She will enjoy shooting off the bench (bloody good for learning sight alignment and trigger control) until such time as she sees her friends plinking away free hand and not being stuck in one place. She sure as hell wont be able to join them with that heavy rifle.

So, get her a light, easy to use rifle/air-rifle to start with until such time as she is old enough to use the heavier guns.

Skill is acquired. What is required is elbow grease, patience and the yearning for a job well done. Believe me, you can do a superlative job if you really want to. Besides which, rimfires are far easier to work on than air-rifles.

I have never seen a Daisy Red Ryder or similar sub-junior airgun but I am reasonably certain it could achieve minute of tin can rather than the oil drum you seemed to be worried about.

P.S.: Should Mehar decide that shooting is not her cup of Horlicks, I am willing to look after your guns.
