[QUOTE="DogDoc99, post: 2694741, member: 125500"] A .243, especially with a moderate load and traditional cup and core bullet can be handled by most 10 year olds. If hunting from a blind, a heavier rifle would reduce recoil even more. Avoid a muzzle brake and make them wear ear protection every time they shoot- even if suppressed. Recoil and muzzle blast make flinchers and trigger yankers in kids- no matter the age. My kids dry fired on lots of deer, before actually shooting one. I always had them tell me where they would have hit. This trained them for “watch the hit through your scope”- ie a good follow through. Good luck and make it fun!!!!! [/QUOTE]
