I think that the key here is to have your kids ready to shoot and accept the results prior to going to a national event. The IBO can not custom make a class for each individual child. At the age you are talking about the child is learning how to accept and fit in in the many things that they do daily. The partents have the responsibility of teaching children values and rewards for the daily thing that they may expierience. In an organization dealing with children each child must be treated fair and they must feel that the expierence was a good one. Ability is not something that the IBO can control other than possibly some basic instructions to let the child know they care and want them to do better. Raising a child is very difficult at times but in most cases is also very rewarding and that is why parents are the most important people when it comes to building character in children. If a child is not ready for a shooting expierence than try to have them ready the next time.
