Mr. John Woolfolk, a good friend and pen pal whom I've never met, mentioned a good idea in a letter about informing parents concerning the troubles young kids have with rifle length. He talked about how he has seen little kids in the pee-wee match having trouble reaching the triggers, and sometimes the kid gets a poor score because of this problem. Mr. Woolfolk thinks that kids could shoot much better if they only had a smaller, better fitting rifle to use. I realized that his idea is very true and a problem that parents might overlook. Here are a few helpful hints and ideas that might make shooting more comfortable for both youngsters and their parents.
Parents do feel proud when their kids learn how to shoot well.
What makes them even more proud is when the kids enjoy shooting their own guns. Sometimes, a kid might be too anxious to shoot the rifle and won't tell their parents if it is too uncomfortable. A parent might rush the child into shooting too quickly and not be able to see the subtle problems. To give kids the most help, start them out using a rifle with an appropriate length of pull. All of these types of rifles are very good for training a beginner.
