As with anything practice makes perfect and I’m sure you’ll want to start them outright I wish I’d attended something like Appleseed to get a little training so I didn’t have to undo my so called style. I’d sure check if the child is left or right dominance.  I shot right handed until my 30s, took a red rider out in the backyard and mounted and shot bees off clover until it felt natural.  Shooting a box of shells hunting was no big deal but once I began trap, skeet, and sporting clays 200 rounds gave me a fat lip<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😀" title="😀" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" />Now I shot mainly left unless I get tried.  Im am a much better shot as a lefty and I was surprised that my perceived lead was almost double when shooting right handed.Of course the first few times just shoot and have fun My .02 cents</blockquote>
