Guys: As always, good advice and interesting anecdotes as well. My son already shoots some right-handed guns (pumps, autos, levers), but I just couldn't figure out how it would work with a bolt gun. The Ruger No. 1 is the way I've been leaning, or if I can find a good lefty bolt gun in the right caliber sometime soon, I'll go that route. Otherwise I'll have him shoot one of my lever guns (a .30-30 or a .45-70), since our stand will, I hope, offer a pretty close shot. Thanks. TT
I would put money on the fact that most of the people on this board had/have the burn to shoot from they can't remember when.
The point is, if he too has the burn, he will not care! Don't over think this. In truth my Son shoots his old Model 12 16ga. he got on his 12th birthday vary well.
The real problem for a right hand left eye is shooting a bow.
