I have had my boy shooting since he was 3 also! He is very good shot and has excellent form! He now has the Browning Micro Midas II which he is about maxed out on! So I sure he'll get a new one for this coming up Christmas! He just got his first rifle for his birthday! I got him a Marlin Bolt Action .22 Model 925 w/Busnell Scope! He loves it! Enjoy the outdoors with your son its an amazing experience!
