dismed Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 At least he picked the one with least recoil. Honestly at what age are you starting your kids shooting? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndArmored Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 BB gun at 10, rimfire shortly thereafter. Centerfire by driving age (16 in our state). Over half a century later, I still have that Sears BB gun - in its original box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroy Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 I’ve been shooting with my kids in the back yard with BB guns for a couple years now. Started when they were probably five and seven. I wanted to take my daughter shooting this summer because I think she’s ready but it’s way too hot here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpbcps Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Dismed 👍 from me! and while on the topic of family shots..... here is my son, who is now 29, sharing his fathers interest in the Thompson gun.... back in 2000. and his younger sister did not wish to be left out, photo taken in 2017, probably after watching Bugsy Malone on TV.

MauserMatt Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Finally, as I was loading a few guns up to take to the range with my brother, my 6 year old said, "daddy, when are you going to take me shooting?" That was music to my ears! I've waited a long time for this! Since having my second son, I've tried to start doubling up on things in my collection. I only had the one machine gun, being an M1 Thompson. Well I don't want them to fight over one machine gun, so I'm now waiting on the form 4 to come back for an MP40 I bought last year. Absolutely can't wait to be able to hand my sons my machine guns for the first time on the range and see that smile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan K Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 We can't have kids, however, I have a 180. Great gun for a kid, it us like a sewing machine. The 180 would be the last subgun I sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
