[QUOTE="ripnbst, post: 1609027, member: 16136"] I think a bolt action is very similar to the single shot. Its still a single shot at a time with familiarity with function of a much more common firearm design. If you have any kind of control over your kid they should listen to you if you ask them to only shoot one and not load the next until instructed. I shot with a kid a couple months ago who had a single shot, granted he wasn't 3 years old but I got annoyed with the single shot break action. it was just really an inconvenience. Again, he was also probably 9 or 10 years old. His was also the .22/410 combo. For someone who is 3, if you feel they need to start that early, a single shot is more than adequate. IMO, and I may catch some flak for this, 3 is too young for a real firearm regardless of caliber. I started at 21 and was scared turdless when shooting real guns with people unfamiliar with firearms because I was old enough to understand the consequences they can have. Let alone someone who is 4 years old. I agree that making some sort of game of it would be a good way to keep them into it. [/QUOTE]
