I’m looking for a target air pellet pistol for my daughter to use in tetrathlon competitions. She just starting our with this type of competition so we’re not looking to go all-out…yet.
Please let me know what you have or, more importantly, please chime in with any knowledge you can share on the matter.
I’ve got a lot to learn.
Thank you
