Sounds about right for me too (far as the age). That was over 30 years ago and I still have that gun.

Any survivors within a 300 yard distance?
5 years old with a rifle simply sounds stupid...even if we were posting on the OT board.

I got a .22 at 8, is that stupid???
As long as the child is properly supervised, my son will have a gun before he can walk, he just won't know it yet

stank dog was obviously not raised in the country. I had a single shot .410 and .22 when i was 4-5. No, they weren't available to me when my dad wasn't around, but by the time i was 8 i was taking guns out by myself.

The earlier the better. I wasnt allowed to shoot a pellet gun without supervision until i was 10ish.
You never have to worry about the kid who grows up with guns. You have to worry about the one thats never touched one.

Obviously not. I was the same way.

I think I had:
a BB gun around 4
a pellet gun around 5-6
a .243 at 7 shot my first 2 deer with it that year (shot a family friend's .243 the year before)
a 20ga at 8
a 30-06 at 12

A bb gun when I was about 5, .410 when I was about 7, .22 at 8 or so

I figured your first was a kentucky flintlock or somethin along those lines. Didnt realize they had BB guns then.

Shot my dad's old Remington pump 22 since I was old enough to remember.
But he bought me my official first gun at 11. It was a Remington 3" 12 ga. Wingmaster. It was a rite of passage at our house, that on your 11th b-day you had tp shoot a 3" buckshot to prove you were man enough to own a gun.
Damn, that shite hurt my shoulder. I look at 11 year olds today and wonder what the hell my old man was thinking.
