[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1897853, member: 93895"] I started my son off with a bb gun around 4 years old. Around 5 years old, got him a pellet rifle with open sights. Around 6 years old I put a scope on the pellet rifle & gave him just a little bit( not much) instruction on how to look through the scope and he figured it out on his own. Then let him start shooting a 22lr. At age 7 he was shooting a 35 Remington with 150 gr bullets. I believe this gradually stepping up through increasing recoil rifles is crucial with a child, or else they may very well be gun-shy or have a bad flinch. [/QUOTE]
