[QUOTE="AngusLimoX, post: 310632, member: 3319"] .223 is not a humane or responsible choice for deer sized game. .243/6mm in bullet weights over 100gr with large game hunting type bullets is. Work up from there. My first gun was a break action Slavia.177 air rifle, at about age 9. Wish I still had it. The hours ( weeks worth ) spent in the grainery waiting for a rat to stick it's head out of a hole while I perched in the rafters turned out to be a life-altering experience. ( I never missed, head shots only ). I believe the best shooters are made, they are not born to it, and the age they start has little to do with it. You are gonna hear all sorts of brags, "my kid did this etc.. ", do what is right for your kids. Make sure they are responsible and safe gun handlers ( unlike many adults ) and competent marksmen before you let them go to the woods for game. [/QUOTE]
