Find and buy a single shot 22. Cheap to shoot, no recoil and great fun. Teach the fundamentals of shooting to a kid before buying them a shotgun or deer rifle.

Got my first bb gun before I could talk real good. Got my first real gun a, a Winchester 12 gague, at 11 years old. I was around guns since birth and hunted with my grandfathers guns from about 7 years old (he was with me of course). Guns and gun safety was part of my life since the moment I poped out.

All kids are different and would trust my 10 year old son, which got his first .410 at 8 years old and will be getting a 7mm-08 next summer, before I would trust many adults with guns. Just because someone might be 30 years old don' t make them any smarter around guns than a lot of kids.

I was 2 yrs when I got my first gun a Marlin 336c 30-30 from and uncle who willed it to me.It was fallowed with a 20ga. J.C. Higgens single shot @ 7 yrs that used to kill gophers around the farm.

I bought my Daughter a Rossi matched Pair 22 lr/.410 for her 5 th birthday and she can hit gophers @ 50yds.
It is all up to the adult,I gave one nephew a 22 @10 yrs and another a 12 ga. Rem 1100 when he was 9.

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

i think a good caliber would be 220 i shot one when i was 7 it didn' t have much recoil. there a good all around gun . ive hunted ground hogs up to 300 yards whith deadly accuracy. i hunted deer with it it would bring a deer down in its tracks if hit right. its a good light recoil gun that could used for target or hunting [good luck]

My grandparents bought all of the grandsons a BB gun for thier 6th Xmas. My Dad gave me a bolt action 20ga at age 12. At 14 my grandpa gave me his old winchester pump 22 with exposed hammer. I killed all game including deer with that 22. There was no deer season where I lived at that time. My dad gave me his Eddystone 30-06 when I graduated high school. We lived on a farm and my dad could never spare me to work out until I was out of high school. My then my little brother was big enough to help farm and I got my first job. I soon biought a then new Remington nylon 66. Great gun.
