Shooting: a way to bond with Dad

I’m not really a hunting or shooting kinda girl. I don’t own guns. But, I do n=know how to shoot. My dad has an impressive collection of antique war weaponry, most of which has been handed down over the generations in our family. Also, he has been a member of the Izaak Walton League of America for as long as I can remember. The League is one of the nation’s oldest conservation organizations.
The local chapter where I grew up had a lot of land where we could camp, fish, hike, and plan t a whole lot of trees. The guys were also very into target and skeet shooting. Dad was a range officer, and he took my sister and I out to the range more times than I can count.
Now that dad lives on a big plot of his own land, he likes to do a little bit of target practice there. He often uses air guns for the target shooting and when I visit, I’d love it if he had something smaller on hand (like a BAM B40 Air Rifle) that I could use so we could spend some time together on the targets. Really, as far as shooting goes as a sport, I’m all for it. There is a lot to say about the skill it takes to develop accuracy at a long range.
I’m just spending some time tonight poking around on the Pyramid Air Gun Mall website. So many models! I get overwhelmed. I think tomorrow I will call my dad on Skype and have him browse along with me. I have to go to the master if I want to make the right decisions.
Cool thing about the Pyramid site: they give a 5% off coupon to customers for finding a mistake on PyramydAir.com. Talk about a cool way to get more than a few new sets of eyes.
