He's 13, and I've taken him twice to the indoor range. First time was at Apllied Ballistics First Shots. 
He's only shot .22 pistol and rifle there. He did well, and I told him that we would soon shoot outdoors. And, that we would shoot something larger than .22. He spent most of the weekend babysitting his younger brother, so I told him I'd take him Moday afternoon.
He hadn't shot my Ruger MKII since I put the red dot on it. He did much better with it.
Close up of same shot;
Dancing water bottle;
He also had fun busting up clay pigeons.
Then on to 9mm.
Close up of same shot;
At first, he had a little trouble controlling muzzle flip;
Close up of same shot;
But after a few more rounds, and some coaching, he did much better.
Nice thing about a weekday afternoon at the range, you can have the lanes all to yourself. Time to break out the rifles. Here he is with my 9mm Just Right Carbine;
Shooting offhand, at 50yds, and his first time shooting ghost ring style sights. On his second 5 shot group, he put 4 on the 5" target.
He was pretty happy with that.
Since he did well with the JR, I got out the Ar;
Close up of same shot;
He really liked it.
And here he his showing good form shooting at 100 yds for the first time, with the bolt action that I bought to teach him with. It was the first time he shot it with a scope on it.
About 5 hours of fun range time.
