What a great way to start a youngster out! Well done Crimson Soul!!

I know how proud you must be of her. And not bad shooting either! Keep up the good work!

A hearty "well done!" to you AND your daughter

that was some good shooting, congrats to the both of you. The next thing you know she will be coming up to you and asking if she can borrow the .45!

I have a .40 not a .45 :)

You can get her a Kimber for Graduation!

She looks so proud, and I'm sure you are too.

Great job CrimsonSoul!

No, she is being taught to be safe, not dangerous.

Only thing is I had to keep reminding her to keep the finger off the trigger but beside that she was good about not pointing it at me or anything (after one warning) and good about putting it on safety after each shot so we could reload and re-pump air

I'm waiting impatiently for my 4 year old grandson to grow enough to hold a Cricket or air rifle. We're already going over the rules.

Good job!

A slot in a 2x6 makes a good way to hold crackers on edge as environmentally friendly reactive targets. When she never misses Saltines, switch to Cheez-its.

I like the way the outfit matches the stock.

Yes, according to my fashion conscious 17 yo daughter, you must make sure your ensemble matches at all times. Maybe that is why I wear a lot of black clothes.

Come tax return I'm going to get an actual laser sight and a laser bore sighter to make it a tad easier on her (it's hard for her to aim because of how she has to hold the rifle)

Come now, you know you wanna mod that with a collapsible stock

Congrats on getting her going. I remember getting my first BB gun from dad and I loved it. Still have it too
