Had a step daughter that was right eye dominant and left handed. Her first rifle was a 10-22 Ruger. After the first trip to the range, I bought a stock blank and went to work on it. Shortened, since she was knee high to a duck, and modified the stock so that she could get a good cheek weld and still have her dominant eye in the field of view of the scope.

Listen when kids complain. It may not just be gritching.

She was accurate at 100M with that .22 when there wasn't any wind after it was modified.

Nothing like teaching the kids.

my uncle let his kids and his nieces and nephews fire his collection of weapons as soon as they were 8 years old which meant ice on the shoulders black n blue:
My uncle`s arsenal:

one BAR
one Thompson submachinegun
one Sten gun
one M1 carbine [everybody had`em, brought`em back from Korea]
one German lugar complete with swastica`d handle
on Ruger 44 short barreled bush rifle
one WWI english sniper rifle
many 30-30` s and 303`s
over unders, shotguns

He owned a gunshop too-
I bought my first 22 LR Mossburg for 25 bucks at the Army/Navy store-cash n carry right down the street- went right home and taught all my siblings how to hit apples at 100 yards. My mother at 92 could still hit with a 22 as she did when she was 8.

I heard that....Not only have I walked my three kids thru the art, I spent 15 years in 4H shotgun teaching kids the finer art of point shooting a shotgun.

Would not trade those 15 years for anything. Best years of my life were spent with those youngsters and their first days swinging the business end of shotgun.

Now that I have time on my hands, thinking about getting back into 4H training at the County level again. We must bring our young ones up and tutor them in the art.
