I just got my brand new HW97k the other day and I was sitting out the back plinking at a target. My wife came out and said "gis a go!!".

Fabulous I thought, so I loaded it up and pointed at the target and off she went.

Turns out she loves the whole shooting thing. She was a bit suspicious of what I was doing before, but now she wants to join in.

Here's the question though. She wants an air rifle now, but she says the one I have is too heavy for her. I'm not that surprised to be honest, it is a 9lb rifle.

She is 5'4", and weighs about 9 stone. She is a hunt groom, so she's no weakling, but she did ask me to mention the fact she has slightly dodgy wrists.

She would like the rifle for shooting rabbits with me and maybe a bit of plinking in the back yard. Mainly hunting though.

I think we are both sort of traditionalists in that we like springers, but given her wrists, we would also think pretty long and hard about a PCP.

Any suggestions?

cheers,
