Daughters first gun

[aijk]

I recently bought my daughter her first gun. I set out to buy her a cricket. I found a new one for like $160. I desided to look more and i found a Thompson Center pink camo 22 for about $200. She loves it and loves to shoot it. She is 4 years old.
EDIT here is the link Hot Shot® - Thompson/Center

I'm not sure what one of these look like.

4 years old??? Wow, teach them young to be safe. Have fun with your daughter.

Those are really cool. Thanks for the link. I would have loved to have one of those when I was a kid.

One is never too young to learn about shooting safety and actually shooting when able to support the weight of the gun. My wife was 7 when she first shot a 22 rifle. I was 12 when I got my first rifle. I had a BB gun at age 8 and was allowed to go out on the farm in open country by myself to shoot. That was back in the 40's and 50's

I think that's awesome. I grew up in a house that definitely discouraged (aka banned) guns of any sort. I, personally, would rather see someone teach responsibility than intolerance. Congrats, by the way!

Have fun with your daughter, its always good to see kids learning about guns and having fun.
My son 4 has a BB gun, he knows basic rules that ive seen adults not follow at the range.

My daughter learned to shoot last summer (when she was age 5) and she really enjoyed it, but for the size of the Ruger 10/22 that she was shooting...it was just too large for her and I had to help hold it so she could shoot.

I have three (3) children...a daughter (6) and two sons (3.5 & 2.5 y/o). I think I just figured out what their first rifle(s) will be. I'm just glad that they all like different colors in the 'whose is whose' game of ownership! Guess who'll get the pink one?

Those are some pretty awesome looking little rifles....well my brothers just got the link, so hopefully my nieces and nephews will have more things to shoot than the p22 and 10/22 this summer!

Also +1 on the rep, I know they'll love it!
