Hey,
In the poll for peoples' ages someone mentioned they started shooting at age 4 (a Red Ryder bbgun that is). It got me wondering, what is a good age to start a child shooting say a bbgun and then moving up to a .22, etc.? I have a couple young'uns and I want to be smart and safe. I started when I was probably 5 and was always comfortable and cautious with firearms because of it. I'm curious what others' experiences have been and welcome advise.
