Back at it today. She quickly graduated from the single shot to the ruger precision rimfire. Lol. Went from a $60 rifle/scope combo to an $800 combo but the target rings the same. She really flies through the ammo now. I had a talk with her about that. Not because of the expense but because I didn’t feel she was learning from her misses.

Keep it up… I know you’re a very proud dad! Now, I’m sorry, but I have some bad news for you. In about 10 years, she’s going to think that you’re an idiot no matter what you do.

Don't sell those Daisy's short.
I bought 2, when they first came out, $38 each. Put a Simmons .22 scope on one.
Taught my kids to use open sights or scope. Find ammo they liked and both were minute of squirrel noggin.
Bought a 3rd, at a gunshow, years later and 12 grandkids learned with them.
2 great-grands and 2 on the way, they will be learning on the same Daisy.

It works and does the job. It taught her a few things. There’s pros and cons which are to be expected.
