[QUOTE="300WSMMAD, post: 303617, member: 11709"] Gidday, I took a mates 12 yo twin boys out to shoot their first goat last year they both used my 300WSM (breaked & off bibod) both took billys at 560 and 575 yrds each, plus they both had a good blaze up with it on a big mob, By the end of the day I thought I wasnt going to get it back, both pestered the **** out of their old man all the way home about getting a WSM:D. I do however agree that the right "fit" is important, and starting him off light could be wise, may even consider a slower powder with lighter bullet to get more of a push than a shove to begin with too. My 9 yo is getting at me at the moment:rolleyes: sigh!!! All the best WSMMAD [/QUOTE]
