Just sayin....
Good idea. Took my GD, age 10, out this weekend with a bolt action magazine fed .22. She loved it, did all the loading herself and did quite well with it. She didn't want to quit. Made me proud.
Grandson’s got a brand-new deer rifle to sight in, and Little Miss has been busting my chops for a year to graduate her to the .22 Mag varmit buster. I really think that she just loves the idea of a scoped gun so she can do her Anny Oakley act at a bit more than 50 yards.
All the kids have been shooting since they were 8, and about the only things they haven’t wanted to try out are the handguns and the .300 Winmag. (Lightest handgun in the locker is Grandma’s .357 “Dirty Harry”, and I guess they do kinda sound like a 5 inch gun going off when you compare it to a .22 or a 20ga.)
