I don't approve of minors shooting high powered rifles. They kick, and kick hard. Children should not be subjecting their still growing joints and connective tissue, to repeated heavy blows.
Sure, they get thumped playing sports and general rough-housing, but that's not the same. A day at the range would be like hitting themselves with a hammer, in the same spot, about a hundred times.


If only kids understood what a burden this huge penis is... sigh
Addie, age 5, has been shooting a .22 for over a year now. My oldest daughter, age 19, shoots my .45-70 & .577 Snider. I think this year, I will introduce Addie to my 8 gauge double or my 7 bore elephant gun
