I started my son shooting around 5 years old. Of course it was with close supervision using a .22 rifle that I had resting on a sand bag, with me behind him helping. He said he liked the way it went bang!
As he grew older, he quit needing me behind him. He then got into the Cub Scouts and they taught them at Summer Camp to shoot bb guns. To him the bb guns were a little let down.
He then got into Boy Scouts and they were taught to shoot the .22's and they were given the opportunity to shoot the 12 guage shotgun. My son liked shooting the 12 guage, because I had allowed him to shoot my AR-15 by the time he was 13.
He is now 26 and living in Charlotte, NC. He still likes to go shooting with the " old man " when he comes back to visit. Last time he was here he shot up about 200 rounds of my .223's - ouch! ... But it was worth every penny!!
