Shooting My 7 year old's second time shooting.

I bought a little Cricket for her to use with an adorable little scope. She was pretty excited to create a hole in the target lol! 20m bench

Sweet, I found with my little brother that since he really only wanted to shoot .22lr and .22wmr because he was recoil sensitive that if you very the platform and the sight system it keeps things interesting. I had him shooting my 10/22 with a red dot, Winchester .22wmr lever with open sights, marlin with peep sights and cooey with a scope and he was loving it.

My grandma passed away and I inherited her Cooey, so I will definitely be letting her try a variety.

The Cricket is awesome for a small kid though. Small for her hands and reach.
