he is 6 and he liked the 22, the 410, and the little 25 pistol that he thought was just made for him. But the big thrill was HIS OWN B.B. gun.once he learned to hold the stock behind his leg when co ck in g it he was off and running shooting pics of rabbits and deer hung on bushes and no tin can was safe. Sure wish he was around more I only get him 2 weeks in the summer but i think that will be enough to make a gunner out of him.
