Just as a post script :o)
I’m DYING for my eight year old to become my shootin’ buddy, but she hates, hates, HATES loud noises.
Seriously, this child covers her ears when flushing a public toilet, and if it doesn’t have towel paper she’ll leave the rest room with wet hands.
If suppressors were over-the-counter legal, that child would have the best arsenal in the second grade by to-mmor-ow!
Have you tried good headphones? I do get it. I have a 5 year old who hates loud noises too. And I don’t love loud gunshots either. I would wear headphones.
Get the noise reduction headphones
Get noise suppressing headphones made for shooting. Paint them pink and put Hello Kitty stickers on them.
Young ears are sensitive to loud noises and I don’t want your daughter to develop tinnitus. Just because you have a suppressor doesn’t mean everyone else at the range will have one.
Also, just shooting a target isn’t very fun or engaging. Trap is a great way to encourage healthy competitive behavior, hand eye coordination, etc.
