I put cheap red dots on them and the kids loved them. Their younger brothers have inherited the crickets. The oldest grandson (8) shot his first deer this year during youth gun season using a Rossi single shot .223 with a red dot on it. Fifty yard shot thru the lungs. The biggest advantage to a red dot over a scope is no eye relief issues. With a scope most younger shooters have to search to find the proper eye relief. The oldest have moved on to semi autos with iron sights now. It was so much more fun for them when they first started using the red dots because they could hit the targets consistently. Make it fun for them and they will not want to stop shooting. Also use target that are fun to shoot, plastic 2 ltr bottles of water, old fruit, clay pidgeons, etc. Be safe and have fun.</p></blockquote><p></p>
