[QUOTE="Vettepilot, post: 2935003, member: 114372"] Well, I started on a 22 rimfire, and must recommend it for cost, fun factor, no recoil, and no fear factor. It's only about 100 bucks to grab one. You want to toss a bunch of rounds downrange to practice, and nothing is better than a 22 for that. Do get her into the AR15 once she's doing well. Everyone should be proficient with them. My daughter at 12 = Marlin 22 20 gauge w/light loads AR15 I say don't let her get into the habit of indiscriminately blasting rounds downrange with the 22. Seems to be a common inclination. Mag dumps are fun, but should only be done occasionally IMHO. Maybe just let her load only 3 at a time? One thing I've found good though to teach fast target acquisition is bouncing a tin can down a road with shots, using a 22. They like it too. (Load more than 3 for that exercise to increase fun factor though...) Vettepilot [/QUOTE]
