[QUOTE="bboswell, post: 1529181, member: 8795"] My son and I started shooting local matches about a year and a half ago, when he just turned twelve. Couple months of Steel Challenge rimfire and then he started asking me for a 9mm to try the USPSA and IDPA game. M&P Pro for Christmas, and he came home with some hardware from the IDPA Nationals 9 months later competing against adults. We have a great time and I am always impressed with how much attention he gets from fellow shooters on our squads who see him trying to improve, his attention to safe handling, and offer advice and support. Most clubs will let a new shooter use an Airsoft gun to run stages. When they are comportable and you are convinced they are a safe to everyone, move up to .22, although their score will not be counted, but its unlikely a new shooter would be winning anyway. Then they can move into 9mm and since they pick up skills much faster, will be beating most of the adults in short order. Have Fun, and buy a Dillon reloader sooner than later!!!! [/QUOTE]
