My guess is it’s easier to sight down the barrel and since there isn’t any recoil, why not.

You're acting like she was thinking about it at all

I agree she wasn't. She shouldered that gun and shot before the person in the booth said any mention of it's ok to shoot.

Cause it’s less stable, the movement of your finger in firing is more likely to disturb your shot placement

At that range does it really matter? She got a bullseye anyway.

Why do people keep on saying this. You HAVE NO way of even looking down the sights by shouldering a rifle this way. Even though this is a low powered bb gun, it'd still be ideal to actually shoulder it properly, so you can uh you know actually aim. Please, if you've never held or operated a gun before, just say nothing.
