Recommendations for a kids 22lr.

[Beau]

On my 10th Christmas my dad gifted me a Ruger mkii stainless target model. That's the best gift I ever got. I'll never forget opening that box on Christmas day. We would go out to our property and shoot turtles. he had a couple of 22 rifles already that he introduced me to shooting with. 2 years later he got me a 870 20g youth model. I accredit most of my shooting abilities on those old days blasting turtles for 25-35yards from the dam.

So I cut down the stock on my kiddos Daisy BB gun yesterday, she did some plinking...and we discovered she's left eye dominant. Had her switch her stance and she shot much better.

Pretty annoyed with my own impatience, bought a righty 22 bolt gun the other day that was intended for her but probably won't be needed now, and of course finding lefty stuff is alot harder.

I seen many lefty’s run a righty bolt action. Don’t be too aggravated. Kids are much better at adapting than we are.

That's true, but I'd rather she learned comfortably.

She was putting the butt against her chest so she could get her left eye far enough over to see the sights, and she was not hitting anything or even coming close.

She was visibly frustrated, and as soon as we switches it up her whole demeanor changed.
