Flying Dragon XS-12

[Nikoman]

On a related subject of kids and XS-12's.    My 15 year old son can cock our Ruger Airhawk B-25 all day long but my 11 year old son can't so he doesn't like shooting it much and is loosing interest quickly in his Red Ryder.    Does anyone out there have any sense if a typical 11 year old sixth grade boy can cock an XS-12 on his own?     Thanks.

My daughter is 10 and she can cock and load the XS12 all day. She struggles with the Vortek'd R7 (carbine) but cocks the other stock R7 we have (full barrel) with not too much trouble. The cocking effort is something like 10lbs it's so easy.

Thanks Nikoman.

Just ordered an XS-12 for the wife from Mike. It sounds like it should work well for her!

Maybe a good size to introduce my scaredy cat wife to shooting...
