I plan to go to an Appleseed event over Patriot's weekend, and it will only be the second time I've ever been shooting, and my son's first (9yo), other than air guns.
One thing I wasn't sure about, is how to find if someone would have a rifle my son could borrow? I plan on buying a Marlin 795 and sling (although, I may hold off on the peep sights for now) for myself, but my son would need one to use. I also suspect he's cross-dominant, so not sure if he should shoot left or train his right eye, and if a "left handed" 22 is even a thing, or something to worry about?
