Maybe it’s the angle of the photo but are you positive that she’s not cross eye dominant? My son is a lefty and when he was young he was doing the same thing. We then realized that he is right eye dominant. Coincidentally I’m right handed and left eye dominant 🤷🏼♂️

This is not a hardware problem. It is a technique problem very common to kids and females.

Maybe move the buttstock higher into the pocket of the shoulder and get a cheek weld w/ the existing mount?
If you're dead set on a riser, there are a plethora out there. Unity FAST being one of the popular ones right now. |

Best part was when she shot a pistol for the first time. I put that handgun in her left hand, and she naturally lined up the dot with her right eye. Took me a minute to realize she’s cross eyed dominant. |

With a high stock pocket, the only contact she has with the stock is the area of the stock where the screw holds the butt pad on |

Can't never could 'til try came along.

Ok left eye dominant. Perhaps an AR pistol with only the tube would work for her.

Looks to me like she needs to switch shoulders, and do it soon while she can.

She's like her mother at they're both 5ft nothing. I ordered a Unity riser. If it works, great. If not, I'll post the riser and the kid on the EE forum

If she's a lefty then she's shooting weak side in that pic, which is probably why folks think she's looking goofy. Like any of us, shooting off your weak side is a little off until you train through it. Cheek weld, etc.
Maybe, instead of shooting weak side to satisfy eye dominance, it'd be easier to train her strong side on weak eye. Either way, I have Unity risers on my dots for 2.26 height, and I can roll the rifle and/or shift my head slightly to achieve sight picture with my opposing eye without switching hands, so maybe it'll work better for her. It will come with other training challenges but if it's just for fun, it's no worry. |

She's doing it wrong. It's better to fix her than to conform the weapon to her improper form. It just reinforces bad habits.

Utg super slim risers are very nice and cheap and available in just about any length and height. Still work on technique.

I have 2 cross-dominant kids. One power squints or uses taped glasses, while the other uses a 1.93" mount over a .5" riser.
It can take some time to get comfortable with anything that isn't just perfect, but it will be worth the effort if they like shooting. Good luck! |
