The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[wtburnette]

Ok fellas. Question time. My oldest is Gonna be 6 later this summer and it’s been on my mind for a few years… But I wanna get some insight from those that have been there.

What did you teach your children to shoot with? I’ve got a few ideas in my head, but interested to hear others thoughts, opinions and experiences.

I started my stepson on a 9mm, the a 1911 in .45, but he was in his late teens at the time. I would advise starting her off with either a .22 plinker like your G44 or a .22 rifle. Get her used to all the basics without recoil and add something with recoil when you feel she's ready.

Plan was most definitely .22 rifle. I’ll save the handgun stuff for later on.

I’ve thought about something like this. Actually cleaning the house the other day, found a can of vintage JC Higgens someone gave us of .177 pellets. I thought about buying something so I could shoot those.

I'm really tempted by that one...

Bought the girl a Daisy BB gun for her 4th bday. Dad could shoot the Sig while she shoots the daisy in the yard.

Got a Marlin 15Y for Christmas when I was six. Single shot bolt action. Only goes bang once. Have to cycle the action and reload every time. Learn that every shot counts. Easy to pull the bolt and learn to clean a barrel.

I started my son and daughter with a Red Rider bb gun at 5 then on a Marlin model 10 for a rifle and a H&R single action 22 revolver around 7. My daughter was shooting my AR and my dads 5906 at 10 and my son lost interest. He was more a mommas boy. Started my oldest gson & and gdaughter with the same Red Rider bb gun then a Marlin model 10 for the gson and got my gdaughter a pink cricket, she earned it. Ruger MKll for their first pistol. Gson #2 is still on the Red Rider and gson #3 isn't 1 yet so he uses a nerf pistol for a chew toy and hammer.

It’s a solid deal which I am sure we could negotiate on.
