Hey thanks y'all. .22 it is, rifle first then an easy to shoot browning buck mark. The cornered cat site is great, and I've found some others. Yes the whole point "girls" vs anyone else is because she may not get positive feedback from friends like a boy might. Hell when I was a boy in a little rural town- it's what we all did after school and on weekends- shooting was accepted, even encouraged and of course fun! For her- not in a rural setting with friends that shoot, it won't be the same but I think with a little luck we can keep the interest going. Thanks a lot for all the suggestions.
