On the plus side, my rescue dog, Honey HalfLab, extremely gun shy when I got her, ain't no more... Or not as bad, anyway, thanks to the Gamo. The reason I bought it.

Had to teach her about grouse hunting using the Gamo, after working her up through just picking up and putting down a gun until she quit hiding, then gun carry on walks, and dry firing a staple gun in the garage.

I had to teach her everything on our first Gamo grouse hunting, right down to looking for the bird.

2nd trip out was " Hey! I got this, Boss!!! I'll just scoot back and stand here behind you until you shoot...."

Was going to graduate her up thru .22 cb, shorts, L.R.

Instead, going straight to 30-06 on a caribou hunt a bit later without thinking about it,- didn't faze her.... " I'll just scoot behind you until you shoot... " smile

She still doesn't like guns, but....sacrifices have to be made for hunting!

We are going with a .22 or the 20, for grouse next fall.

Not a damned thing to do with trigger pull weight, tho. smile

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
