My daughter has turned 14 and wants to shoot N-SSA.
She is very small though. Even with my 2-band P58 she does the "chick lean" and leans way backwards to try and balance the gun. She likes my Richmond Carbine a little better but even that one she leans way back with.
I'm thinking a small carbine would be good. We tried my Pedersoli Sharps 1859 but she has a hard time seeing the sights with it. I think the problem is when she gets a good cheek weld her head is so far down due to the comb drop that she can no longer see the front sight. Maybe if she moved her head forward on the stock but probably she can't due to the length of the butt.
What do you guys recommend for long arms for small shooters?
Also, she is left-eye dominant. Do they shoot left-handed?
Thanks,
Steve
