Back in the days when "typing" referred to using a typewriter, there were teachers who felt that in some instances constant attempts to force a student to do it "right" only reinforced the error. The theory was that these students should intentionally type the error, and each time they did so they should say "Nope, that's not right."
My suggestion for the grandson would be to use a variant of that theory. Start with the BB gun. Does it have open sights (I hope)? Have him begin with whatever he feels is a correct, or normal sight picture. Then have him lower the rear sight so the front sight ball or tip is well and obviously above the top of the rear sight, THEN pull the trigger. Repeat ten times.
Then do the same thing but power the barrel so the front sight disappears from view and fire ten shots like that. Go get the targets and show him what the gross changes in sight picture did to his point of impact.
In the end, though, everyone learns at their own pace, and nobody learns before they are ready to learn. Perhaps this grandson simply isn't ready to grasp the concept.
