philpot 5,050 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 On the subject of Julia wanting to shoot, let her, as Jimmy says, use your gun until she is really up for a gun herself. My wife and I really enjoy clay shooting and following on from that Trish thought an air rifle would allow her to share in this aspect of shooting but she just didn't seem to come to terms with it. I bought her a Brocock Contour, super lightweight gun, no good. I bought the Ultra as much as anything for her to shoot (I didn't tell her that) but again she just cannot get comfortable with a rifle. Don't splash the cash until she is READY, it can add pressure on her and take away some of the fun aspect. Like you, let her take her time, one step at a time Shaun. Phil Quote Link to post

RSVNelly 518 Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Thank you all for your advice and comments they are really appreciated. I've taken onboard what everyone has said, I'm not going to buy another gun at the moment pcp or springer. I love the HW100KT and this is going to be my gun. I do like the R10, however this is the gun Julia and Owen are going to use. If neither of them continue to shoot I'll exchange it for an R10 SE .77 in camo if they do want to shoot they can either keep it or change it for something that suits them.

philpot 5,050 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Good move Shaun but I have to tell you that there is not a .77 in pellet size but there is a .177, perhaps it could be that one matey. Phil Edited December 7, 2016 by philpot 1 Quote Link to post
