    HTH

    My son has just started getting intrested in it now, you know how teenagers can be one day it's one thing the next another, but he's been persistant about this .

    I think it's computer games that have intrested him, Ican't blame him, when I was a lad we had nothing like that

    Hi

    Would agree about try before you buy, there are a few shops that offer this but can't think of one in London.

    Not sure where in London your from but may be worth a visit to Lea Valley (www.lvagc.com) large friendly safe airgun club near Hertford. First Visit Free! All visitors get a 'tour' and a safety briefing.

    On any given Saturday there are c. 50 members at the club so probably upto 100 guns around. Most members more than happy to discuss their guns. good / bad points etc and let someone have a few shots to get an idea .

    We also have club guns available for daily hire of £5 which includes air & pellets (refills & air £1)

    If you think you're going to come along give me a call to check it's not a competition day 07910 353111

    Hope to see you soon

    As has been said, take him to a good club a few times, he may go off the idea so saving your cash. As you said things in favour today may be old hat tomorrow.
    Cheers
