If she can handle an air rifle..............a .22 will be a snap. Accurate shooting with air is much more difficult than rim- or centerfire stuff. I would suggest you get her shooting in a position not at a bench (sitting, standing or prone). Bench shooting can lead to bad habits & cramped positions - she' ll be more comfortable shooting without a bench....................you' ll just have to be real supportive of her until she gets better at it.
