[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 132897, member: 2736"] MCFLY You ask for help with a very good cause, so hear is some more information. There are different kinds of recoil. percieved and foot/pounds of energy. Percieved can be a lot of things (example: a single action pistol with a low grip style rotates more in your hand than a modern pistol with a high grip of the same weight and cartrige but feels like it recoils more but in ft/lbs it is the same. How a rifle reacts can have this same effect so if you take two different rifles with the same ft/lbs of recoil one being heavy the other being very light the percieved recoil will be more on the light rifle. This is called recoil velocity (how quick the rifle moves backwards when it is fired). Also muzzle blast can make a huge difference in percieved recoil this is probably the most common cause of target panic(flinching) and most target shooters who contract this ailment practice with a 22 cal of the same size as there match rifle. So my recommendation would be to select a caliber that is suitable for the quary at the greatest distance to be used under poor conditions and then work on reducing both percieved and ft/lbs of recoil.also make it short and handy to use . After you think you have the right one run the recoil calculations if it is two high thin you can add weight with a heaver stock,barrel or even a heaver scope. At his age you probably take him to the blind and help him get setup so a short handy 10 or 11lb rifle would help him to steady down and if he did flinch would minimize the effect on the point of impact. Long winded but I hope this will help. You hear (Take a youngster hunting) often but whats wrong with taking a father/grandfather hunting. My son takes me and I love it. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
