Personally I grew up in a no gun/no hunter household. Being like most boys, I always had toy guns and BB guns etc, can’t remember my age though. I got my first .22 when I was about 10 years old. My interest in firearms came from being in the Boy Scouts and also having lots of farmer friends. The rest is history as shooting and hunting are the hobbies I decided to stick with for the remainder of my lifetime. I had many other hobbies (dirt bikes, boats etc) until I started a family and have very little free time for anything anymore. I figured hunting and shooting was the best way to develop a good relationship with my kids, teach responsibility and enjoy the outdoors together. Plus I’m just addicted to it like the rest of you !
My son is going to be 3 years old in April. He is very smart and very aware that I hunt and when I leave he always says he wants to go with me when he’s older. He understands a lot and communicates well, watches hunting shows with me etc .
I have taken him shooting with me a few times, just as a bystander, mommy holding him. I’m looking for some advice at how to introduce a BB gun gun to him. Is he too young ? Is it better to wait another year or two ? I know every kid is different but maybe one of you have been through the same dilema. I am a farmer and have plenty of places to shoot firearms at my disposal. We could make it a Sunday morning routine if he is ready. My friend has a 4 year old but he’s not emotionally able nor does he respect authority enough to introduce firearms yet. My son is light years ahead of him as far that goes. He listens and respects us really well.
thanks in advance !
