[QUOTE="Exarcher, post: 1899241, member: 113453"] I started my grandson shooting very young,, he was shooting off a little "bench" when he was 5 (22 chipmunk). When he was 7, I started him on my low recoil centerfire rifles. One I built especially for the up and coming grandsons is a predator action, edge stocked, hart barreled, jewell triggered, 250 savage, which became his favorite.. He took his first deer on the young sportsman hunt last fall at age 8. Shooting off a rolled up towel dropped this 4point @ 25yds! My oldest grandson, now 20 took his first deer at 12.. I believe you just have to see how well they progress & let them figure it out as they grow.. ian has loved shooting & hunting since he was 4, spending many hours in the blind with me.. (My most memorable hunts no less, my best whitetail with him when he was 6, & him taking the 4pt when he was 8) now ian is going on 9 and I have 2 more younger grandsons I hope to hunt with in the future also. I had "girly girl" daughters, & now know why God gave me girls,, 4 grandsons to hunt (and shoot) with in the fall of my life! [/QUOTE]
