You can get her a Kimber for Graduation!

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

Great job CrimsonSoul!

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.

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. "rlol"

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)
