    Agree at 4 is just to young. Thinking back I was maybe 6 or 7 before was allowed to shoot.
    I think I was about 12. But Dad never had a .22, so the first "real" gun I shot was his double barrel 12 gauge. Shot it here in the back yard! :): Those were different times for sure.

    I always had toy guns, and I had a Crossman 760 pump master when I was younger than that, but the 12 gauge was the first real one.

    My age for teaching is 6/7.
    First step.
    I let them beat on a watermelon, generally they don't do any damage. Then I take them to the range....stand them far back, and let them witness the destruction!
    My kids and grandkids each get a single shot 22 from us at age 7....that's what we teach them to handle, load, fire before any thing else

    That's when I was let loose with Grandpa's Remington single shot .22
