I'm a Blender noob and I'm having so many issues with parenting bones. I'm trying to use the 'child of' modifier to parent a 'lightsaber bone' to a 'hand bone'. But when i apply the modifier, the lightsaber bone and its mesh is shrunk down to half it's size for some reason. And completely misplaced. 
Has anyone come across this problem before? Thanks so much in advance for any ideas.
