[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 586203, member: 12863"] Started 2 of my 3 children shooting pellet guns at 6 years old. The odd boy out still isn't mature enough at 34 years old. AT 7 and 8 years old they were competing at the local range with 22 rifles and pistols. AT age 8 my oldest son shot his first buck with a 6X47 (222 mag) ultra-light I built to teach my wife and kids how to shoot none recoiling centerfires. Today the 60 grain partition is available for the 223 so would advise to just reload the 223 with a premium grade bullet. I have watched a great number of deer fall to the 223 and that 60 grain pill and know it is plenty. I have also seen a bunch of children grow up who are none hunters as adults because of some starting their little one's out too young and with to much gun. If they can not repeat the 10 commandments of firearm safety they haven't a safe attention span. Neal [/QUOTE]
