    All my kids use a scope ages 6,8,10 and 11 doesn't take long to figure out the eye relief find a height that works for them like a seat or bench with a decent rest.
    Something that keeps the rifle pretty stable, I use a pack which works well soft enough for the rifke to sit in but not move about too much.
    My other advise is use a gong type target, it really helps as it makes a sound when they hit it giving them instant gratification.
    I also found that my younger children got too caught up if there grouping wasnt as good as dads so the gong works a treat.
    I just use an old landcruiser front brake disk does the job
    Beaker and planenutz like this.
