[QUOTE="Kaptoe, post: 1897844, member: 107839"] Both my boys had Daisy pellet guns at 6/7. They shot those a ton with emphasis on safety. 22lr for my oldest around 8 and he moved to centerfire quickly after that around 11. Killed his first deer at 12 with a 300 blackout and has been piling them up with a 308 since. Youngest decided he liked archery better which has worked out well as I hunt mostly bow. Separate practice / time with each Don't discount 308 as a great entry centerfire for youth if you handload. 110gr Barnes or 125gr AB with a moderate charge is a great deer rifle and doesn't punish badly [/QUOTE]
