re: What age to buy sons a gun

As soon as they can hold one! Start a Daisy BB gun, Benjamin Pellet Rifle, then a single shot
410. Starting young allows you to beat safety in there head! By the time he hits the 410 and up, he'll be as cautios as an adult. He'll also have a beginers collectio of guns that he can keep forever and possibly start his son of some day. I appreciate my beginers collection and hope to start my kid of some day.

Pretty sure I am going to buy a cheap small Gun locker too just for their guns so they understand the improtance of safe storage and there is no danger of them using the guns unsupervised.
Of course all of mine are in a safe.
I like the idea of watermelon carnage. Fun way to plant some watermelon seeds in a few small plots next year too.

Never thought of the watermelon idea before. My dad just showed me over and over until I finially learned. I hunted with him for years before I even got to carry the gun much less shot it.

maybe. maybe not.
your fast track should be reevaluated depending on each's real emotional maturity and hand/eye coordination.
pretending they are the same as you is a big mistake.
1. in my 3rd grade class, we had an incident of a kid shooting out the eye of another kid. 4 seems a bit young for a bb gun.
I doubt ANY 4 yr old has the common sense. wait until he is 8.
2. nice touch, not letting them have toy guns. But they will miss an important learning. Did you have toy guns? Remember the moment when you were playing (cops and robbers or cowboys and indians, or enemy nation vs USA, something like that, and you are hiding behind the corner of a house and you expect someone to come around the corner? That ADRENAL rush is just as real as if you had a real gun and it would prepare them for the hunt/hunted element of warfare if they join the Army/Marines.
3. I think 5 is too young to be on a hog hunt, in so far as shite can go wrong. Adults get attacked by hogs.
I used to save news articles of guys who got killed by prey.
It happens. Bucks and hogs sometimes win, in close quarters.
Main thing is that you need to read a book on CHILD psychology and tailor your master plan to actual elements of maturity that you REALLY see in them, each in their time. Wait and see what happens really.
IMO.

Agreed, this is just my plan of the limits that I would allow certain activities, certainly not the time I will expect progression.

I haven't made that jump

Thank you, I thought it important that they not learn poor muzzle control and/or fial to realize the finality that shooting someone or something has.

I havent seen any of our hogs climb into a box stand, and I have never seen a dead hog attack anyone, so I think we should be good.

Interesting that your wisdom extends to my acquired knowledge base.

actually...
I would start off with one of the toy shot guns that shoots the cap shot shells... and rubber bullet guns...
that way you can let them "shoot" and learn safety at an early age.
and letting them see what various shells, cartidges and loads does to things like fruits and vegetables is a good safety lesson.
