[QUOTE="Longrangers, post: 1897945, member: 101564"] I started my son early. He was introduced to a red rider by 1 yrs old. I took him woodchuck hunting and he killed a woodchuck at 300yds using a 22-250 with a muzzle break on. By the time he was 7 he was shooting a 6mm dasher and competed in steel silhouette matches and engaging targets out to 1000 yds and was running in the top 15 of adults. He also killed his first whitetail doe at 7. Since then he has had many accomplishments in his shooting career. I believe in good hearing protection, very low recoil and reactive targets get them going. Draws interest and don’t scare so you don’t create bad habits. But if they seem not to have a lot of interest regardless, don’t push them. Make things fun. [/QUOTE]
