Same logic - they'll "grow into them."

Not me; I was too tickled to be shooting a "real gun" to notice that it was "too big" for me. I didn't know any better, but Dad did. That's why he insisted on me keeping the 22 rlfe on the bench bags for the first three years of shooting, so holding the "too large" rifle would not be an issue. I concentrated on trigger and breath control and it paid off. In 1972 I qualified Expert with a 246 at Parris Island.
Thanks, Dad.
