CAPTAIN HOOK
To each their own when it comes to guns and young kids. I have a grandson 5 and I wouldn't let him shoot a BB gun yet. He's good and he listens when he" isn't occupied" but he's still 5. Call me old fashion...whatever.... but if something went wrong handling guns I would never forgive myself .To me there's no hurry yet ,so I'll just let him enjoy his childhood. I'll play it safe and wait till he's more mature and has a better span of attention with guns and crossbows.....until then we'll just keep fishing and playing !
Yes. I would agree to each their own.
As a parent, grandparent, uncle etc.... we should each be able to decide when the right time is to allow a kid to participate in such as good, wholesome activity as hunting. Let the guardians decide when the right time is. Some may feel the right time is 10, 6, or 14. The fact of the matter is the earlier it is, the more likely the kid will continue on with in.
