Message: <blockquote data-quote="jtillman" data-source="post: 243526" data-attributes="member: 904">Need some advice, hoping a few of you have been in this situation and can provide me with some input and feedback.I have three girls, ages 13, 10 & 8. All three of them have shot rifles (22's), and enjoy shooting, as well as have a desire to hunt. The oldest has hunted deer and birds with me for the past couple of years, and specifically for deer hunting, had her shooting an AR chambered in 6.8 SPC (borrowed from a friend). It has worked out tremendously with the sliding stock and soft shooting AR for fitment and confident shooting. Before shooting the AR, I had her shoot a bolt action .243 in a youth size, and it was too short for her, and full size is just too big / awkward....so the AR fit really well for her and she loves it.  So here's the rub, before having the oldest hunting, I wasn't a huge AR guy (especially for hunting)....but after seeing how well it worked for my oldest, my opinion has definitely been swayed.  I had planned on purchasing all 3 kids the same rifle, so when they are ready for deer hunting they have a rifle that they have shot for a few years and are confident with it....as well as I won't be showing any favoritism if all three have the exact same setup. The traditionalist in me says a soft shooting Bolt Action (.243, 6.5, 7mm-08, etc.)....but after watching my oldest use the AR so effectively, I'm starting to lean to the AR. So looking for your thoughts....like I said, hoping some of you have been through this before.</blockquote>
