[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 681299, member: 3745"] Well said Kirby! It is very important not to intimidate a new shooter, especially kids or women with too much gun. As Kirby said, we designed this gun specifically for manageable recoil. It is very mild to shoot. Recoil is far less than her 12 ga O/U that she puts 300 to 500 rounds per week through. My son who is just as big as her, but 2 years younger and far less experienced will not be shooting this gun for a while. He needs to develop a level of confidence before I sit him behind the Lapua. For the rest of you dads out there. Get your kids shooting early. You don't have to have or spend a lot of money to get going and for them to get good. We have several kids in our 4-H club that shoot a club model Savage 22 that costs less than $300 new. Those kids who have taken it seriously, I can tell you that unless you are comfortable enough in your manhood to get beat by not only a kid but a teenage girl....... you better not shoot against them!!:D Elizabeth can beat me badly any day of the week shooting silhouettes or bullseyes with her competition .22. She is not there yet with big bore long range shooting YET. Only because she does not have the knowledge of ballistics and reading wind and conditions that I have. When it comes to control of the rifle and trigger, she is pretty much there. If I set it up for her she has no problem at all with 1000 yard shots. I figure since she is smarter than me, and has a kids ability to work computers and such that she will have my ballistics app figured our pretty quick, and will catch on to reading conditions pretty quick too. Take those kids shooting! Like Kirby said; they are the future!! [/QUOTE]
