When my son was about 5 i think i got him this one.http://www.pyramydair.com/p/Daisy-19...Free-BBs.shtml
Then when he turned 8 got him this one. http://www.pyramydair.com/p/crosman-...ir-rifle.shtml still has them both and he is 11 shoots the h@!! out of both. niether one was real pricy but have still lasted through the years and torture.:ok1: happy hunting at least there is some kids that want to get outdoors and do some plinkin and not sit infront of the tv playin video games. |
Make the first one the weakest non shootinest thing you can find like the good ole trusty Red Ryder BB Guns. Let him start with somethin that would be hard to break windows and skin with. If he does OK with that then get him a real one.

:humm: If i had a penny for all of the BB's that shot through my bb guns growin up through the years maybe could afford some mods. :humm::U:

I would recomend going staight to a 22lr, I was raised with the philosophy of only shooting a gun that has the ability to feed you. I can't remember how old I was when I started shooting with a chipmunk rifle, but I do know that I had to have my dad cock it for me. I would say no matter what you start him with, just make sure if fits him. I'd recomend going up to Buckeye outdoors since they do have a pretty good selection, and just have him hold some and see what fits him the best. In my opinion, I would get him a youth modle Ruger 1022, not real expensive but a very very good gun that you could upgrade/modifie for him as he gets older. If you want any help let me know, my brother works there at buckeye in the archery department. In the gun department I would recoment you talk with a guy named Terry, he has a shaved head, and he really knows his stuff. Good luck.

Start with the basic Daisy Red Ryder and move up if he shows interest.
If you have a place to shoot a real gun, move him up to a 22LR soon as well. |
he already has a 410 chipmunk and a 22lr chipmunk , i just dont think he is ready for them.
And IMO a 22LR is much much more dangerous than a 410 , 22LR are underestimated , I was a teenager before dad would even let me have a 22 but i had 16,20 and 12 gauges already |
have him to treat the daisy just like its a real gun. :U:

In my opinion, with the way I was raised and taught all about gun safety (there are pitures of my sitting on a stool barely out of diapers with a pair of safety glasses on watching dad reload), it dosn't what kind or size of gun it is, you always have to excersize every aspect of gun safety ever conceived. It all comes down to teaching the child everything that you possibly can, and make them comfortable, and confident. No gun is dangerous when handled properly.
