[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3955091, member: 24531"] I am specifically thinking of BB/pellet guns here, but the same could be said for rimfires. Is it better to let them learn to aim with iron sights on a paper target first or is it better to shoot cans, or swinging metal targets first? I tend towards the cans first just to get some hits and then fine tune it later on paper when they are comfortable shooting cans. But I wanted to get opinions on what others think is the best method to teach. My daughter already has a red dot on one of her BB guns because she prefers that over iron sights, but I have a pellet rifle that is similar to a 10/22 that I want to use to teach iron sights with before moving up to the 10/22.
