Did I hear about it, ever?  Maybe, every day, for about a year, especially in front of her and my family.

I always just gritted my teeth and espoused my virtues as a teacher. 

"When the pupil exceeds the teacher, the teacher has done their job."

Reminds me of a mate and I, both trained shooters, took his 16 year old daughter out to the range to teach her how to shoot, technique etc impart our wisdom on her and she out shot both of us all day., with our own rifles

we blamed the coffee, not enough of it lol

Nothing worse.   

Baaah humbug.   Little sh*ts.

On a serious note, those targets are one shot with a .35 cal.

I have a little Two Forty, made in China by SPA (I assume) and it shoots very well.  In the same class as the HW30, but with a very plain wooden stock and half the price.

My star Chinese performer however is my .22 Outlaw PCP, also made by SPA.  I had a few QC issues with it initially but it's an absolute beaut.  Currently being used at our range by my niece and she shot these last Saturday.  To put it into context, each round involved dropping metal silhouettes (10 x chickens elected by most participants) followed by a single shot on a target,  Scoring was by the number of silhouettes dropped multiplied by their value (4 for a chicken down to 1 for a ram) and then multiplied by the target score (the multiplier).  This was indoors at 25 yds and she was shooting 18 gr FX (JSB) pellets.

This girl has been shooting for less than 6 months and is doing very well.  On this occasion she dropped all chickens followed by a bullseye for each of the two rounds achieving the maximum possible score.

Enough said 

I only ordered it mid week.  Will let you know once I have it in my hands.

Currently too young by a few years but his parents have said he can have one when he turns ten (under adult supervision of course).

Thanks for the offer of the pistol but he'd be far too weak to cock it for sure.

Thought, maybe, it was me, but Hornets, Crow Magnums and JSB Hades, which were the pick of them, were all grouping.

I had 2500 Gamo Hunters put aside at Gun City, but thanked them and canned that plan.   I'll stick with the Hades.  Of which there are bugger all in the country at the moment.

TR6, can you manually de cock the Diana 34EMS without modifications?   I'd like to have one rifle with open sights and they review very well.
