I went out and bought my daughter her first air rifle for her sixth birthday on Jan. 2nd (but she's getting it tomorrow lol). It seemed like a steal at academy with a laser site and pellets and all. I'm not going to be using the crappy targets that came with it but some nice reactive targets that splatter green when hit. Now all I have to do is get the all guns are evil mantra the schools have pushed on her and get the guns are dangerous unless used correctly and the three rules are followed! (I'm excited!)
