[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1658533, member: 78438"] I started my 19 year old step son on a 22 when he was 5, then .223, then, .308, then .280ai, he started shooting shotgun and rimfire handgun competitions when he was 12 and saved up and bought his own Browning Citori when he was 16. He has since bought several more and told me his collection is up to 12 guns now and he's very proud of that!!! He may not have my blood, but I'm afraid my influence runs deep. My 10 year old son started on a bb gun when he was 3 and has progressed up his new LH Tikka .260. He loves old guns and classic looking guns with blued barrels and walnut stocks, he doesn't care for the tacticool stuff at all. Prairie dogs are in big trouble inside 200 when he's got my .17 in his hands, and he can ring a 4" gong at 200 with his .260 all day. Oddly enough, he love's recoil, he thinks it feels "cool". To check for flinching issues, I get them all set up and comfortable, then I take the gun and load it for them and hand it back, but they don't know if I've actually put a round in the chamber or not. I'll do this with about 20% actually loaded depending if they are flinching or not. My 19 year old couldn't hit the broad side of a barn when he first started shooting his .308. I've run this drill with him dozens of times over the years, he's steady as rock now and can shoot some pretty impressive groups. I've done this with my 10 year old as well, he just doesn't flinch so I don't feel the need to do as often. Something to try if your having the troubles I was. I thought I was going to have to get Kaden in bow range with his rifle when we first started!! [/QUOTE]
