englishman-in-wales Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 A quick picture of my little girl and her first shot with the .22lr with the resident coach at the club, slightly too big for her, but she still managed 5 out of 5 on target at 25 yards...trying to get hold of a junior .177 air rifle for her now.

englishman-in-wales Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Get her a cometa 50 junior air rifle ;)only £80 Cheers for that buddy, it's her 7th birthday in March, so she will be getting fully kitted out, i love the fact that she enjoys it, she comes fishing with me and she is now on my club membership, whereas my 13 year old has no interest at all...she prefers shopping with her mum...probably a cheaper option anyway..

cockercas Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 cracking. I let my son shoot the .22 at a family BBQ in summer (he is 2 3/4) and the 12bore a couple of weeks ago. I got a big sheet of ice out of a puddle,lent it on a 30ton pile of stone bent down rested the gun against my knee aimed and he pulled the trigger. the ice smashed and he shouted I DID IT I SHOT THE ICE, MUMMY MISSED. id let mummy shoot at it first. he liked it tho he is still telling people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
