[QUOTE="T3ninja, post: 1800124, member: 95079"] My daughter will be 5 this year. I’m really hoping she will want to try deer hunting this year. As far as shooting goes, I cut down an old single shot .22 and she was shooting and hitting clay pigeons at 20 yards with the rifle in a vice. Literally a bench vice. I wanted to make sure there was zero chance of accident from dropping and zero recoil. Now she’s 4 and she’s has shot my AR in .223 and .300 BLK. I like letter her shoot the AR since I can collapse the stock short enough. She is learning how to aim by herself now and is becoming a very good marksman considering she is only 4. About once a week we shoot the crossbow and I just put it in the bogpod “death grip” tripod and she does the rest. She’s able to understand the BDC lines in the scope and make hits on a 6” bullseye out to 50 yards. As far as hunting in 2020, I’ll most likely have her setup with my .300 BLK with a suppressor. It will fit her, and recoil is minimal. So for me and what I’ve seen, it’s hard to beat an AR for youngster to start out with. They can be built lightweight, and the recoil is manageable in pretty much all the calibers. Add an adjustable gas block to tune it even more. 6mm ar, 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 Spc, .300 BLK . All are perfectly capable deer calibers, some even at 3-400+ yards is set up correctly [/QUOTE]
