Red Ryder BB gun at about 5...first real one was Winchester bolt single shot ...Christmas present at about 6-7. Don't know what happened to that one. The habit has grown ever since then!

My first "owned" gun was given to me by my father. Ruger M77 .308 w/ manlicher stock. It killed a deer this year. Although I have many others, that old girl is the first one I grab come rifle season. It has killed more critters than I can recall.

My 5 yr old, just got his first .22 (crickett) for Christmas. He's a pretty darn good shot with it. There isn't a pop can safe in our house. Unfortunately we still have 2 feet of snow, so we have to wait until the weather breaks for him to get out and shoot more.

PA has a youth mentoring program, so I plan on getting him enough practice and gun ethics by next fall to get his sights on his first squirrel by age 6.
