[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 1897808, member: 65116"] I was a farm boy from age eight and was given a Benjman pump BB gun. I learned about safety from Dad. I was a good and safe shooter when my uncle gave me a Remington 241 Speedmaster (off the old Browning patent, bottom eject, bullets in a tube in the stock) 22LR. I never went anywhere on the farm without it for skunks, turtles, big bugs anything was a target. I also was the one who killed the sick or down cows, many of them. Killed a lot of dogs that would pack up and chase our calves. What a 22 between the eyes of a cow will do with one shot is a great teacher of the seriousness of shooting. That gun is still in my gun safe but I can't shoot it because I can't see the rear sight, am looking for a peep to put on it. How old is old enough? Depends on the demeanor of the child. I have a 12 year old granddaughter who shoots a suppressed 300WM. Has killed a couple of pigs and a nice looking cull buck 8pt. [/QUOTE]
