Kids have red ryders that stocks are cut down to fit there Shoulder. I would like to get them a pellet rifle that can actually Kill something but I cannot find any with short stocks for Kids. I don’t want them holding it under there armpit trying to shoot. Anyone have any input.

In my mind, the gold standard would be a Beeman / Wiehraunch R-7. At 10 yards, a one hole wonder......that you never grow out of. Open sights or add a scope if you want. Velocity of .177 pellets about 700 fps.
When shooting starlings off the suet feeders.....don't aim at the body.......or the head........aim at their eye. (if they will hold still that long).

The 10 pump crossman airguns fed us plenty of times when I was a boy and the fact that it takes so long to pump them back up ensures a kid will learn to never waste a shot

I tend to agree with Charles on this too. Airguns are powerful and a kid should probably go to a hunters safety course and display proper safety techniques before they handle one

The red ryders they have now can’t kill a chipmunk at 10 yards. Not a accuracy Issue but a power issue. I think I’ll try and find them a wooden stock hand pump Pellet gun that I can just take the stock off and make a small one that fits them. They are 5 and 7 but small framed little guys.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I had a Crossman or a Benjamin (?) youth model pellet rifle, don't know if they're still made
