[QUOTE="Ben Gallardy, post: 1897873, member: 110137"] This is a fun topic. My father in law showed up at the birth center 15 minutes after my son was born with his first gun....a red Ryder. What a one upper! I started educating my son early on, building excitement for shooting and hunting. These books helped a lot! [URL]https://www.keystonesportingarmsllc.com/product/story-books/[/URL] Once I realized he was hooked, and understanding basic gun safety, I introduced him to his BB gun around 3. He started shooting it well around 4. Since then, he has moved onto a Savage Rascal .22, and a single shot .410 which we took turkey hunting this spring. He shoots both well....and the best part...safely. I never pushed him to do it, just took him with me to the range, and then hunting at an early age and let him decide he wanted to be involved. He turns 6 next week and I trust him to shoot his bow on his own now...as long as me or mom is outside. Pretty cool watching the progression. He has to stay on the ball...he has 3 sisters following in his footseps! [/QUOTE]
