Thanks
We will be private land only. A friend of mine has a .44 mag that his son uses which I am going to let my son use. I appreciate all the responses but I still think (knowing my son) that the .243 and similar size rifle rounds will be too much for him. I thought about the muzzle loader but being his first real time practicing with a long gun I don't want to mess with the cleaning etc. to get him some range time in. Once he has a season or two under his belt and has more range time I will get him a ML.
