This weapon is being bought for my son who is ten and hunts beside me - we can not both use my weapon which is to big for him, so I am buying this Howa Junior Sub Sized for him, as in apposed to some bullshit story about needing a smaller sized weapon because the bush is thick and a standard weapon gets tangled up etc, - as in a honest reason.

It's valid. I've done it.

how old is she?

She is 17 now, started the process when she was 15. Had to wait for her to turn 16 to submit the competency application. Covid delayed her license application.

In the old days my dad bought me a .22 rifle for my 6th birthday and showed me the ropes. Then went to the veld and start hunting by myself. (Then the license application and every thing took 3 days to have the license in hand on my dad's name)
