[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 3942901, member: 27991"] With my kids, grandkids and other's kids; at 3 yo, or whatever their age first time I had them. I filled a 2 liter bottle completely full of water and sealed lid tight. Showing them an assortment of cartridges, .22LR, .45, .30-06, 12 ga. Talking safety and responsibility. Kneeling down on their level. Load a .22 LR and shoot the 2 liter at 5 yards or less. Depending on the kid, usually 6 or 7 before handling anything other than BB gun on their own. By 9 yo, they are hunting with shotgun and deer rifle. Going to Cowboy Action shoots with me. Talk to them with respect. Give them responsibility. Expect them to be responsible. Most will be responsible. Invite their parents. Even they don't shoot, seeing the responsibility of the kids and the fun they are having, will have a positive impact. [/QUOTE]
