[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1371918, member: 97196"] My two 11 y/o grandkids shoot the 6.5-06 with 142gr bullets. It is light and has no brake and they shoot it with no problems. Has a nice limbsaver pad that works well. This year they shot deer at 560 and 200 and an elk at 530 yards. All one-shot quick kills. I keep a 3-15 power scope on it so they can easily locate the target. I just have them set-up on the bipod and backpack and take a couple of dry fires before loading. We also go out before the season starts and practice acquiring targets until they are comfortable. That seems to be the biggest challenge for kids at longer distances. When one of the boys was getting ready to take the shot at the elk this year, and taking too much time, he turned to and said “this is the scary part grandpa, what if I miss.” They need to know they can do to. Practice works [/QUOTE]
