I bought a pink gun today

Yeah, I need to get her using a rest. Probably put her on some sand bags on the picnic table.

What age is a good age to start introducing kids? We have two 10 year old girls and sending them through Appleseed in the next few months. Also have a 4 YO boy who saw my AR15 when I brought it home and asked if that was for him. Made me think when is a good time to start? He already has a 22 waiting. So do the girls when the go to Appleseed.

Whenever you think they are calm enough to handle it. My son was calm enough at 6, my daughter while she has shot on private land, at 6, with just me and the boy, I will not take her to a public range with others around. She is just to "energetic" for that at 8.

We were finally able to get a few rounds fired today. I had to help steady the barrel for her a little bit.

How'd she like it?

She loves it. Keeps asking if she can go squirrel hunting now.

Very cool! I have my son (8) do most of his shooting from a rest or bags. It allows him to concentrate on the basics (breath, trigger control, sight picture, etc.) Accuracy is important to him, and the bags make this alot easier. Shooting is only fun for so long if you aren't hitting your target.

^^^This! My boy started out, using my 6-9 inch Harris bipod, and I fully agree that it frees them up to focus on the fundamentals!

Great way to get her interested in the gun world. Hoe she's a crack shot.

Here's my little girl's pink gun. "Course, she's 25.

My wife has a pink Ruger 10/22. She loves it.
