I need some advice from the left handed rifle shooters please.
I have two sons that are left handed; they’re 6 and 3 years old. My six year old is becoming a fairly competent rifle shooter with a .22 Chipmunk. The rifle is a right hand bolt action; he shoots it left handed. He’s a pretty big guy for his age; the size of most 7 to 8 yr olds at his school, so if he continues to progress with his shooting, I think he’ll be ready for a .223 this Fall (or maybe Christmas).
A few questions:
What did you left handed guys and gals learn to shoot with? Did you have a left handed rifle?
Were there any transition issues moving from a right hand rifle to a left hand rifle?
If anyone here has recently outfitted a young left hand shooter with their first centerfire, any suggestions on rifle brand / model?
As a right handed person (far right ), any suggestions you have to help me help my son will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
