RE: First Rifle for 12 year old...
FC,
Great advice on the hearing protection. My daughter has no issue with the 243 when it comes to recoil. Any flinch she has isbecause ofthe noise at the covered (metal roof) range we go to. She wears double protection now (muff and plugs) and is doing great.
Not to mention of course saving the hearing.
Mustad, Please make him wear the protection even in the field
