If your daughter uses it you can get her some of the Hornady 243 reduced recoil bullets for it. It has the adjustable trigger on it. Goes all the way down to 2.5lbs trigger pull. It is a great gun for the money! If you have any more questions please just ask. I will be glad to help and I love helping kids get into hunting. I might could even get you a good deal in exchange for a cat fishing trip!
Real good advice here. I started to bring up the lighter caliber but it sounded like it was more for you instead of the daughter, plus she is old enough now to handle the bigger bang. Still good stuff here by catchemall....
