But in the end most of the responsibility falls on the parents. This is a good example why my old man started me out with a single shot .22 and I didn't graduate to a semi-auto for many years. But then again not ever kid is lucky to have a parent that did range duty or common sense.
Agreed!

I was lucky and had a bolt action .22 with 7 shot mag, Mosberg. Still have it. Taught my son with this, and my grandson is next, God willing.
