[QUOTE="BigHunter1978, post: 1897892, member: 71279"] This is a great question and there is a lot of awesome feedback. Everyone is so supportive with the kids getting into hunting it is awesome to see. I am sort of passionate about this topic, being Canadian the Government is always threatening to take away our handguns and rifles, I know we will not even go there. From any age where their is understanding, teach them gun safety from day one. They need to understand once the trigger is pulled you cannot recall that bullet. We started around 5 years old but did not do anything serious until the boy was 7 (attached photo's are the boy at 7), the daughter had an interest until she became older. Take them often as possible and do not discriminant between boy or girl (not that anyone would), they are equally important to the future hunting and outdoor community. We started with a .22 rascal like many others, it is a great starting point. There is essentially no recoil and it will help with making them not experiencing large recoil and becoming gun shy. I still have vivid memories of my Dad getting me to shoot his old .30-06 and being scared to death of the recoil, not good! I appreciate people sharing the pictures. [/QUOTE]
