I have a 12 year old who saw this. Would only be used for target shooting. Should I buy this?

Yes it is very accurate and easy to load. The scope could be better but a replacement is not expensive. My son loves it and he's 9. He can cock it easily. It has plenty of power. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

He would love it but make sure it comes with regular sights in addition to the scope. Scope will NOT stay set without a "scope stop" to keep it from moving when shot. Sold seperately but is 100% necessary if the scope is to stay zeroed in. Gamo sells them on their site or maybe available from Amazon. Other than that $20 add on it is a good little gun and my son has enjoyed.http://www.gamousa.com/category.aspx?catID=2

I bought it for my 11year old son and he loves it, I can say I think it is perfect for him, target and small rodents. As long as they've been to follow good gun safety

Definitely for a small kid. My 6 year old has one and only can use it when we are together. His twin sister likes to shoot it also. In my opinion is only good for introducing kids to the sport and when they learn to use this one , and when they are older we will upgrade

For airsoft and shooting enemy targets.. If you are within close range ( maybe 18ft ) you should hit your target. Can't recall, but I believe you can purchase an extended magazine clip.. I've had it misfire a few times ( no bullet comes out ). A good price.. For what you are paying for..

its a shotgun so its not going to be rifle accurate but still i find that i can hit people from a good distance away. yes this gun is most definitely worth it especially considering the price and I've never tried attaching a scope, i mean, its a shotgun so personally its better on the run than sniping someone out. but yeah i would recommend this gun for a 10 year old not to heavy or anything so yeah i would.

Everything would "work" on this, with 300fps you hear the ping and see a slight movement of the target. Its a neat little target for any airsoft gun. But dont expect the targets to go spinning around in circles with an airsoft gun. I have one that shoots 650fps and even that doesnt get them to spin

I agree with Tyler. This is a piece of junk. All that mine is good for is a spotting scope at close range. The cross hairs won't move up, down or sideways. It starts to get fuzzy around 26 power. At 32 I can't make out the target at 100feet much less 500 feet. Don't get excited over the price. It's a wonder the price hasn't been lowered so the inventory will move faster.

I care because I'm not interested in buying a nerf gun that's meant for an 8 or 12 year old for my 4-year old child. Answers like yours aren't very helpful.

This bow in my opinion is strictly for youth. I am a bow hunter and I would not use it even if I got in a jam and needed one

I bought for use for a crossbow that shoots 410 fps. It doesn't hold up at all for being rated for 400fps. I guess if your shooting in the low 300fps it is a waste of money for you I believe. But if your shooting up to 300fps I guess it will work good for you. It's not worth it's money when considering the standards they set. Do not shoot rage practice tips at it either, it's only made for field points. It also where's extremely quick!!

I would say it is OK for beginners, if you mean a child old enough to be a little responsible. Short of shooting someone in the face it isn't powerful enough to do damage. It is full auto, so it can put out a lot of pellets- my son is not allowed to load or use it inside the house, it is an outside only toy.

Yes. All the nerf guns are fun for kids about this age. It does pack a punch for a little gun when shot at close range.

I would say yes. I am shooting about 310fps. I do think a size with more depth may be more appropriate for a crossbow. If it were me, I would purchase a crossbow target to get more shots out of the target. Using two targets might be another option. If you are only going to shoot to sight in and then check occasionally then this target would be fine especially if you shoot at all the different bulls painted on the target. Hope this helps.

Yes, This is an excellent scope for that use it would be easy to see bullet holes in targets at that distance. I would recommend getting the angled scope. (they make a straight as well) It is easier to look into after you take a shot with your rifle.

My chld is younger and really enjoys it. She's not strong enough to use it for very long at one time. Neighborhood kids in that age group like to stop by when they see my child shooting it, and ask if they can have a few turns shooting it. They all seem to enjoy it. I'd say go for it!

Hi there! Yea. It's actually good for all ages I think. I used it in my college's laser tag event. And they are around 18-24 years old! They are actually review videos on YouTube about this gun too. Satisfed with this gun!

Personally, I think it would be very good on that rifle. It's a clean, simple reticle and the center dot would be fine enough for squirrels out to 50 and target out to 100. The illumination of the center dot would also be helpful in dark woods. I recommend getting a good mount, and as light a mount as possible. I recommend the AeroPrecision extended mount. It is only 3 ounces. if you are patient can probably find one for 60-70$. Hope this helps.

The 12 year old we have couldn't draw the bow. If your grandson is large for his age, he may not have an issue.I suggest heading to your local sports supply shop to get a better idea of what you are buying. I walked into this blind, and had I known better, would have gone in a different direction.
