I had my 12 yo son with me at the range last weekend. He asked if he could shoot the 30-06 that I’d just mounted a new scope on. This kid is 5 ft and 95 lbs soaking wet so I was a little concerned but relented. We were still at the 50 for initial sight in and he put the first two shots fired into a jagged single hole! We moved to 100 and he put 3 into a .8” group. At least for now recoil doesn’t seem to be an issue for him. He just rolled with it.
