[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1496828, member: 423"] I like what LDP says. However... you [I]could...[/I] just buy both! And then let her decide which one she prefers. However, I would encourage the rifle, because although they *look* bigger, they are easier to hit with; and for a new shooter, hitting a target is the best encouragement there is. If they go out and never hit what they're aiming for, it's very discouraging. Another suggestion, get those big "shoot 'n see" targets, that start black, and turn yellow or orange when hit, it's easy to see where you're hitting that way. Also, don't start out at 25yds, start closer in, where they *will* be able to hit the target, and work out from there. [/QUOTE]
