A 13year old girl(20.0 BMI,50 " height) has been gifted a feinwerkbau lg700 air rifle(4.7KG). Now, is it advisable to train with that rifle without any health hazards?? the rifle can further shed off 300/400 grams of attachments from its form-will it help?
please suggest.
regards.

I think for kids it is best to start with a rifle that fits as well as possible and cut the weight back as much as possible. Anything you can take off to reduce the weight at first is good. Then as she gets a good position and gains skill the weight can be added back but pay attention to balance as you go.
