[QUOTE="Longrangers, post: 1987212, member: 101564"] I started my kid early. He shot a BB gun at about 3 yrs old and had very little interest so I put him in a 22 at 3 yrs old with reactive targets which took his mind off the bang. Late summer after he settled in I got him behind a 22-250 varminter with a muzzle break at 3 years old shooting at woodchucks. He loved it. So he shot it several more times as he settled with the big boom and little push. By the age of 7 I built a dasher with a muzzle break and he shot it very well with no thoughts of recoil or big boom. At the age of 7 he killed his first doe. By the age of 10 he was shooting benchrest competitively. By the age of 12 he was shooting a 300 wsm and was a very little fella and had no issues as he learned to manage recoil. Today he is 17 and weighs maybe 130 and is building a 338 edge back country hunting rifle. Recoil or big boom does bother him at all. Keep things positive don’t shoot nothing big until she relaxes and gets the fundamentals well and let her decide if she wants to try something bigger. just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
