Took my daughter out shooting, She was doing really good. now that she has the concept of iron sights down I will start working with her on how to hold the rifle.

It appears that she's left-eye dominent, using her left eye when shooting right handed.

You should have her try shooting left-handed, using her left eye. If that doesn't work, she might not be able to hold the rifle normally right-handed unless she closes her left eye (or wears a patch on the left) and uses her right eye.

My grandson didn't like shooting left-handed, so closes his right and it works for him. Using a scope with the right eye might also solve the problem.

I have a 5 year old daughter as well and was thinking of teaching her to shoot wiith the same gun next year. She hasn't mastered the sight picture yet, more interested in just pulling the trigger. So far we have only shot a pump air pistol together.

Haha, that's awesome! Looks like she was having a great time.

That is awesome. I'm looking forward to teaching my daughter as well. 11 months old and already has a better .22 rifle than her dad

Kids can adjust easier to change than you would think!
