I've always pondered with the idea of getting my girls into shooting. I want them to like the sport and know how to use a fire arm if needed. Not say I leave a fire arm loaded around the house unlocked or anything so please lets not get into a heated debate about that.
But I've always wondered when would be a good time to get them started and how would I go about doing this. My oldest will be 10 in September but she is very small for her age. She weighs about 50 pounds. My youngest is 8 and she is bigger then her sister. I was thinking of starting them and the wife out on a .22?
Is there a course the three of them could take to make them and myself feel comfortable with them using a fire arm?
I didn't do much research on this topic and I don't even know if there is already a thread on this subject so if so I do apologize. Any advice would be much appreciated...
