My son is 9. He got a BB gun on his 9th birthday. And is pretty good with that. But I wouldn't trust him with a gun yet. My Father in Law and I are thinking about taking him out Christmas week to shoot a .22 And he was very interested in the deer I shot the other day. I may take him along on a hunt.

But, I'm waiting till he's at least 10 to get him his own gun.

I was looking at those Rossi's though. Sure are sweet.
