[QUOTE="hankle, post: 2764666, member: 125888"] This thread has some age on it, but I'm glad it got revived. North Korea starts their boys at around age three; just food for thought... Fundamental respect for firearms has to be 1st. I used strong language and described the injuries that are possible. I started my boys around three. BB guns 1st, single shot 22's, then shotguns, and finally deer rifles. I made some mistakes with my kids and shooting. I am not patient and I am anal about the sport I love. I sucked all the fun out of my 1st son's training. I was more of a drill sergeant than a teaching father. I hammered trigger control like a maniac. This paid off in discipline, but I lost ground in the fundamental "fun" department. My boys are great shots; neither of mine has missed a deer. They were 6 and 7 with their first deer kills. Kids need their version of demolition ranch... Make it fun all cost. Probably the best thing I did was get reactive targets. I used to force mine to shoot groups like a goon. They hated it.. I now buy soda cans, fill milk jugs and, have swingers. HW [/QUOTE]
