I truly believe a quality Red dot sight
Is just the ticket for a young shooter, novice,
Or even experienced hunter. 
Hard to go wrong withe the Burris FF3 or
Trijicon Dual Illumination Reflex sight. 
Small, lightweight, very durable, hits exactly
Where u put the dot!!!

With her .410 and Burris FF3!
