Default How young/How old

Another thread got me thinking about my own daughter and when I should start introducing her to a firearm.

I started her out at 3 with a bow and a target block this past summer, which she seemed to take to rather well but her general coordination was a bit off (she was 3, I wasn't expecting Robin Hood). Since then she's had a growing interest with target shooting and I'm wondering if 4 years old would be too early to start her with a BB gun. Or should I hold off on the gun for another year and get her a youth bow? The one she's using right now is her cousin's.

What are your general thoughts?
