Rifle Scopes kids red dot scope

[Bubb]

My daughter is 6 and loves to shoot her .22 cricket but its killing me to watch her. She is right handed and shoots left eye. She lays her little head across her stock to use the other eye. I have tried to get her to stop but she has to much of her mohter in her to listen to me. So Im thinking of getting a red dot scope so she can shoot both eyes open. I thought it would make is easier and even more fun for her. Just put the dot on it and pull the trigger?!?! So with out getting JUNK and not braking the bank where is a good place to start? Lets say 100$ ish for her scope budget.

I have been running this on my 10/22 for about a year. It has always held its zero and it usually returns to zero (surprisingly for the price) when I take it off. It has served me well, even when it's bouncing around while I'm on 4 wheeler.

the only red dot that is not junk and under 100 bucks that im aware of is the primary arms red dots. they are defintally not aimpoints, but they are not junk either

CDNN targets aren't bad for the money. Other than dropping it, .22 won't hurt it.

Some of the Trueglo's are designed for shotguns, should hold up.

Have you tried teaching both eyes open on iron sights? Its how i learned and from what i have been reading lately it is a good choice

Primary arms is the only thing worth buying with budget red dots. The owner is a hide sponsor and they stand behind there products.

My 7 year old son does exactly the same as your daughter. I went with a cheap Tasco that is made specifically for a 3/8" rail. The rail on the Crickett is pretty high to start with and having to add an adaptor to use anything weaver was just out of the question. Even after installing the red dot, my son struggles with the eye situation. With both eyes open he is still leaning across the rifle to look through the scope. Using an eye patch or shooting left handed he is actually a pretty good shot. Being right handed and left eye dominant is tough, especially for a kid. This summer will determine if he will shoot lefty for good. Good luck with your daughter.

Something we do to trap shooters who are right hand/left eye dominant is put a piece of tape or a sticker over the left lens of their shooting glasses. Then if they want to use two eyes, the right eye will naturally take over. I read somewhere that most femals are cross eye dominant, so that's not uncommon with your daughter. Good luck, cant hurt to give it a try.
