2 of my boys have been shooting for awhile and tagging along hunting. They've shot my .22LR & ARs.
The problem is they have to tuck the butt stock under thier arms to get a sight picture. Even with a BB -gun. It's hard to control recoil with the stock that way and hard to shoot sitting.  |

I remember when I had to do that, I had to re-learn how to shoot when I could fit the butt on my shoulder.

First off, great pic! Thanks for posting it. And great job teaching your child about firearms and firearm safety.
Secondly, there are .22 rifles out there with very short stocks to facilitate small shooters such as him. It won't take too much effort in research to locate them. But on any account, if you cannot find anything, please feel free to IM or email me and I will do the research for you. |

Grandbaby did that for a while but one day it just all came together for him. Same gun too!
I just let him do what was comfortable for him while gently suggesting that he might try to do it differently. It just all fell together for him one day.

The kid in the first picture looks like he's plenty big enough to shoulder the airgun. His stance looks terrible. I'd try to coax him into not creeping up on the sights and extend his arms if I were you. Just my opinion.

I remember when my pa used to stand behind me and let me put
butt the stock on his thigh. Prety nice guy seing how I learned to shoot with a single shot 12gauge bet he had some nice bruises he never showed me  But there was a little trick I picked up on while teaching my brother to shoot my 22... He was at 1st trying to put the stock more towards his chest and I kept correcting him, but as I watched him he was far more comfortable and accurate doing it HIS way. I know that its not a Solution, but it got him thru the first year just fine with what I had available for him to shoot. The 22... GL, and Nice Pic. BTW Jr. will Like that one when he gets older Nutz...

Wrong. When I tuck the stock into his shoulder his finger is at least three inches short of the trigger True, he is creeping the sights. He also tries to use his left eye. IT'll be easier to work on with a rifle that fits. |

My father pointed out a shooter at an ATA trapshoot some years ago who mounted the gun in the center of his chest. He had been a naval gunner in WWII and felt the most comfortable shooting like that. He was pretty good, and IIRC I believe he won a trophy at that shoot. |

Get one of those Romainian .22LR trainers that are going for $75 or so and cut the stock down. As they grow, just add a recoil pad or glue on the old wood pieces if you're really a cheapskate.

Buy a spare stock and cut it down to fit them, And when they get bigger just switch them out. And for the bbgun just cut the stock.
