[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 1897905, member: 108777"] My dad talked to me about hunting, killing and gun safety when I was about 3. He put me on his lap and pulled the rifle into my shoulder backed by his shoulder. I lined up with the target and shot my first round. We did this a few times through the years. At 5 I was given his BB gun he had as a child. At eight he gave my 20 gauge. At eleven he dropped me off at the sporting goods store. I had already been working and saving my money. I decided I wanted a hunting rifle and my new bicycle could wait. I purchased my Remington Mohawk 600, 308 bolt action for $104.00 including tax. I walked out with it and we headed to the range. 5 inch groups at 500 yards, open sights. Wish my eyes and muscles were that good now. All children can understand safety and guns at different ages. If you are using them and being safe around your children they will probably be ready at a younger age. Be safe, have fun, good shooting. [/QUOTE]
