Default RE: Need advice on son using a scope!

I will probably have to get him a .22 made for kids with iron sights. They do make them for kids, with short stocks, right? I will also get him to practice trying to close his left eye while keeping the right eye open.

Once I covered his left eye with a pad of paper,he was able toget what appeared to be good eye relief from the scope, and said he could see well through it(he had a rest). I was just confused about him having to close his non-dominant eye to see well through the scope, thinking if you shoot right eye dominant and are right handed, you can leave the left eye open. It's my ignorance on the topic causing these problems. As I said, I'm left eye dominant, so have closed my left eye while shooting right handed for years. When I found out he was right eye dominant, I figured he wouldn't have to do that himself...
