The girls have been doing 4-H shooting sports for a while now. Mostly they have been doing compound bow and air rifle. The bows are fairly neat. Mathews built and designed them for the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP).
Genesis Bow
Single cam with an idler wheel. Adjustable draw weight from 10 to 20 lbs. Zero let off.
Only real issue so far has been that daughter the eldest is left eye dominant. Right handed, but left eyes, just like her Opa. *sigh*
Shooting right handed she was doing pretty good, if "good" is defined as hitting the wrong target. Ended up asking the instructor if she should shoot left handed since she is cross dominant.
Last meeting they had 3 or 4 left handed shooters but only one left handed bow. *grumble*
Ended up buying our own off of E-bay. Even if she outgrows it it will get some more use, since the boy child also appears to be cross dominant. In fact the younger daughter was teaching him how to shoot it this afternoon.
As for firearms, looks like I'm going to have to buy a .22 caliber lever gun...
