She actually shot one

[Hasaf]

My daughter was complaining about a few mice. So, she asked me for an airsoft gun, After all, if you are going to be annoyed, you might as well make it fun.





She actually shot one tonight. Amazingly enough, it did the mouse some serious damage. I ended up putting it in an Amazon box and tossing it into the dumpster. I do have to get after her about not putting the safety back on.

I was a bit impressed, mice are hard to hit. And yes, I will put some poison in the basement tomorrow.

Let her keep on shooting them. Sounds like you may have a hunter, there.

That is great. Just drill the basics of firearms safety until she gets it.

They can be pretty powerful, I had one when I was a kid dang thing would penetrate the whole diameter into hard wood. I was shooting chipmunk with my daisy target 177 and it works well on them, just under 500 fps

Atta Girl....good shooting!

I like that 1911 too.

My daughter took her first hog with one (1911). At age 14

Girls can hunt too....as your daughter proved.

Many years ago I made a rubber band gun that I loaded with China berries. When ripe, china berries are round, brown, wrinkled and about 1/2 inch in diameter and aren't edible. The rubber band gun is made with a straight stick like an old broomstick with a rubber band attached to the end of a stick and a clothes pin to hold the ammo.

It was one Christmas Eve and our family was sitting in the living room when a mouse went behind a book case. I got my rubber band gun and when the mouse emerged I beaned it with a China berry and then flushed the carcass down the toilet.
