welll...ive been shooting a while, my dad would pump up the benjamen sheridan .20 cal pellet gun fro me to shoot b/c i was to weak to get more than 2 pumps in it, i think i was 6-7
but he gave me my own gun when i was 11 or so, he had 2 pellet guns that i could use, so i did not need my own, same with the shotguns, got my first one browning gold 2 years ago when i was 17
