[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1658913, member: 110162"] I started my son out in a cricket 22 when he was 4. Graduated to my old 308 rem 788 carbine with reduced loads when he was 8 . He never took to it although he can shoot . Had some trouble when he first started out with his form. He just looked out of shape when he would shoot his cricket. I finally caught it one day while he laid prone across an old rock fountain in the back yard , shooting cans. He was aiming with his left eye ! Put on the brakes, turned him around to the other side of the fountain and never had another problem. He is 20 now, works 2 jobs, one at the county water plant and his lawn care business . He works 14 hr days, doesnt give 2 flips about shooting and lives to work. I hope he slows down and starts shooting again once hr is satisfied with his business. My daughter, 13, on the other hand, loves to shoot. I built her a grendel AR15 for Christmas last year. I even dipped it in a blue lightning pattern so it would look cool. I bought a 22lr conversion for it at the same time. We like to shoot cards for score and balloons in the back yard with the conversion and she can hold sub MOA from the 100yd bench with factory ammo with the grendel . I'm gonna start load developement with her soon so she can take her first deer with her own loads this fall. Neither of my kids know what a flinch is, nor a suppressor either. Teach them fundamentals when they are young and always be sure their hearing protection is on and the noise wont be an issue. At least it never was for my crumb snatchers. Enjoy them babies !
