This is a hard question to answer without knowing your son. Is he timid or shy or is he outgoing? In other words does he take the bull by the horns? You're right, the .243 is the smallest caliber to use on deer. Your son should be able to handle the 243's recoil. Do you have any friends that have .223s that your son can shoot first to help him develope a tolerance for recoil?
