I agree Tempest! The younger the better!! My dad started letting me shoot with him when I was about the same age as my son and it is honestly one of my favorite memories with him. He has a bb gun rifle ( old school red rider!) that he got for Christmas. After letting him shoot my 5906 with assistance from mom, he thought he was hot stuff! He walked around with his chest puffed out all evening! Lol. He's been asking to shoot my ar, but I still think he's too small. He is pretty small for his age. We got him some 1911 air soft pistols for his birthday, but they are a little big for his hands, but he thinks they are the coolest thing since sliced bread. Lol We have been using the bullseye targets that show in paint where he hits, and he does great at first, then he just wants to shoot and stops aiming as much, but I figure that's because of his age and attention span. I'm not trying to force shooting on him, but we never say no when he asks to.
