When my son was 12 or so we would spend $20 on 2 bricks of Wildcats or Thunderbolts so we could enjoy and afternoon of shooting. Now my 12 year old granddaughter has to be content with 1, maybe 2 boxes, and never has known the joy of shooting 500 rounds at one sitting. I don't even shoot of the .22 LRs myself so she can have the limited opportunity. My son evolved into a great long rifle shooter by the time he was twenty as a result of years behind the scope of a .22 bolt rifle.
