RE: How young is too young to shoot a gun?
bb gun with dad, 3yrs+ ?
think I shot my .410 for the first time when I was 8 or something, knocked me over! haha.
but a .22 or something, I think just about any age, with close adult supervision, but 3+ I'd say would be the minum for just plinking etc..
The thing I would caution, is showing him how much fun it is to shoot, then having it unlocked in the house...he'll quickly learn how to use it, and being curious etc...could find it load it, and shoot it,
kids are curious, and don't have the rational/logic we adults do, something I've noticed is oftne overlooked by adults, they assume because they can think etc... that everyone can think, even teenagers don't have the where with all that a 20yo does.
So if you are planning on having a youngster shoot, I'd make sure you have a gun cabinet/ safe.
